Every week, a group of women gather to practice aerial arts on 19-foot-tall silks. One of them is 26-year-old Jodi Simeon described as fearless, despite knowing that her future in Lawrence hinges on random chance.
Sara Crawley s cafe serves medical workers at the Milwaukee County complex. She doesn t want to be pushy, but wants to feed them well, with local food.
But Carl Crawleyâs athletic, business and personal reach went far beyond football fields.
He is special in many ways. Crawley was a great athlete at Monessen High School, California University and in semi-professional football.
As a Greyhound he played five sports: football, basketball, baseball, track and field and volleyball. Crawley was the main cog in Monessenâs 1956 WPIAL and PIAA volleyball championships. He graduated from Monessen in 1957.
He was as adept as a 100-yard sprinter as he was in the shot put, exhibiting a rare combination of speed and strength.
âI did a little bit of everything,â said Crawley, now 81. âWe won quite a few games at Monessen and California. We had a tremendous volleyball team at Monessen. I enjoyed the sport. We had fun and success. It took a lot of body control and you had to be able to jump. Winning that state championship in 1956 was special.â
