I learned that Mel Cartwright Sr. died Feb. 8. Thinking of him brings back fond memories of Bulldog victories and a lot more. During many b-ball games at the Druid Hills gym, "Coach" spent time giving tips to this kid with sub-Bulldog talent. He was a versatile educator. One week he taught me that Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was the cradle of civilization. The next week he taught me to drive a car with a manual transmission. He brought energy, enthusiasm and ideas to all that he did. I miss him! |
