RIP Meadowlark Lemon

We saw them twice in Municpal, early 60's and then later 60's, they were the reason I started playing basketball as a kid.

He used to live near my house; would see him walking his dog in the mornings...never talked to him but waved as I drove by on my way to work...always smiled and waved back.
