“"Grits" was an outstanding football & basketball coach at Indianapolis Washington High School. Our 1962-63 JV team at 18-2 lost City to four big juniors and future All-Star Dave Harvey from Tech at Arlington in Jan. 1963. His wife Kitty was always very nice, and also pretty. And I remember their son Scott.”
