Si Burick

On this great day for Dayton basketball, (second round of NCAA) I am thinking about a great sports writer who died in 1986, Si Burick, who wrote for the Dayton Daily News and was one of the top sports writers in the country, winning many awards. I would like to go through his papers at the University of Dayton, I believe:

This leads me to the Great Snow Storm of 1950, the weekend of the Ohio State-Michagan game.

I remember mom and dad had their poker group over Saturday night and everybody had to stay for Sunday too. One docter from Dayton died coming back from the game. That was before I-70, I'm sure.
