    It is ironic that on Saturday, at a high school graduation party of one of my students, that I had a chance to tell stories and remember coach McCurdy from the team of 1965-66 at Northwest Junior High. Coach gave this little white boy an opportunity to play with some really great talent. I went on to play at Wyandotte and became a head coach myself. Coach McCurdy and his characteristic smile made their mark on me. My memories of my days with coach were happy times and I am saddened at his loss.
