Went to high school with Curt in Crossvillle. Great player & nice fellow.

one of the things my Dad (UTK class of 43) was going to the PO at midnight on new Years to reserve cabin at Cumberland .Mth State Park... vivid memory of one summer was a fairy heated argument over the Eisenhower-Adlai Stevenson race.

I was 6 and guess it led me be to avoid talking politics with family and friends

The Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers ice bowl game waaaay back in black and white was my first game from a lapsing memory. Bart Starr was my hero. As far as UT, 1971 Bobby Majors intercepting Penn State.

Was away at school after years in Knoxville at a school that cared less about its football program when the frat house exploded w/ cheers after that interception. Most of us were SEC fans, and Conrad Graham was another favorite of Vol fans. . Unfortunately, the Dawgs had more fans. The ACC guys were mainly Heels

Not the prettiest passer, but a good leader and a winner.

dad was often cheering Kilmer, Sonny Jurgensen and Eddie LeBaron.
Think Cafego,Bartholomew,Butler and Johnny were his favorities,but he talked a lot about Peyton long after I moved from Knoxville
