Rev. James E. Carroll

Here on my 70th wishing you a Happy Birthday on the 19th. Jim

Paul and I were on the wrestling team in 68. As heavy weights I usually won the wrestle offs, except for one time when Newkirk represented us as I had a spraind ankle. I was glad I didn't have to face the kid from Groton, as Newkirk only lasted 5 seconds. The guy had a 5 year start on us. Anyway I remember Paul could hold my wrist in a grip I couldn't get out off. He was really strong. I think he also was the one who coach Tarbell accused me of not blocking hard enough and I think I hurt him. When we were playing Lansing I haad hurt my back so Paul was playing right tackle. I told coach that I thought I could block but not tackle so Paul and I became the first special teams. He was a very nice guy. Jim Carroll (64)
