A man with all the tools to have had Hall of Frame career wasted it with DRUGS.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

than the Arkansans--fearless, brave, and oftentimes courageous beyond
prudence. Dickart History of Kershaws Brigade.

Condolences to his family. This may be crass but I have no sympathy for drug or alcohol abusers. I've seen and dealt with it in my own family.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.
