Basketball Scorekeeper

In High School went to a 76rs game three hours early with two friends and came across Dr. J in the parking lot while we were passing an ABA basketball back and forth at our car next to the back entrance. Dr. J told us how he started out in the ABA and, since we were such good young early arriving fans, he gave us seats next to the team. Love ABA.

REIDSVILLE

Reidsville is such a homey-cozy town. It is one of those towns where everyone knows everyone, and everywhere you go, there are smiling faces all around.
