They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and a photo of a signed basketball remembering a moment of sports success for Kirkman High in the 1950s started quite a conversation recently among three former players about playing for their well-liked coach, Jack Carr.
Coach Carr had died in 2008, and one of his sons, Allen, with whom I had gone to Baylor in the 1970s, was going through some of his father’s items recently and had emailed me saying he had a signed basketball.

There is no question in my mind that the Erlanger Hospital Board of Trustees – individually – are fine people. I know five of the 10 personally and have great respect for another two or three I’ve heard about. Yet we are told that sometime Thursday the hospital board will vote to award President and CEO Will Jackson a $50,000 bonus and I am convinced this is wrong. Understand, I have no dog in the hunt; I’m no more than an interested observer. But I am disappointed in myself in that I have become a vocal critic of Erlanger management, only because I am in a position to see what the other actual owners of the hospital obviously cannot.
