Deeks, Chucker called me yesterday to give me the sad news.
Sam, trust what the old heads have to say on this - Wayne Lewis was a great player. In the college football I saw, I rate Wayne as one of the all-time greats. Ron LaForest played with him, but he was a bit younger. Wayne once scored a hat trick on me in 1970, and when he and Ron would see me years later, they would tease me about it. I also had a lot to tell them. It was all in fun. After he left Belmont, he joined the Police Force. Although he played for them, he was injury prone. His career did not span like Ron’s own, but Ron would not hesitate to tell you about Wayne’s outstanding ability.
Love partner,
Trevor
