Hopalong, HAYN, and Mili
Tonight, HAYN's mother ( OSU grad) was kind enough to host a quick "Aloha Party" for the OSU volleyball team at HAYN's house before the team's long flight back to Ohio. One great surprise was that the legend himself, Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, was also kind enough to come on out and congratulate the team. What a first-class gentleman and representative of Ohio State "Hop" is. He was gracious enough to take his picture with me and Scott (HAYN) at HAYN's bar.
He also signed my mini helmet, which now has two signatures: His and Archie's. Frickin' E-Bay will never see it...

Must have been a great day for you, Mili.
The few times I've talked to Archie he was a class act. As was Shawn Springs. I'm yet to speak to a former player that wasn't first rate.
