Memorial Day…

a time “to remember”..

Generations of the “brave”

helped CREATE the

great lives we

Americans enjoy…

Among “the finest” were

superior athletes who

were WINNERS TOO on

“fields of battle”… like

Tom Landry, the old

Dallas Cowboys coach---

he flew World War II

bombers---surviving

a crash landing in Belgium…

Ted Williams---an

enormous Boston Red Sox

hero with his mighty bat---

he was a Marine fighter

pilot in WW-II

AND---Ted was “re-called” to

help “cleanse the skies”

over KOREA…

Times are so different now…

Noted athletes not so

likely to wear military

uniforms… It makes me

“even more impressed” by

Williams and Landry---

plus “hundreds more” who

were “double heroes”…

I’m “thankful for so much”

on this Memorial Day---

family…friends…

my life as a sports journalist…

For now--- it’s “Au Revoir”

---The Mizell Minute

will be gone a few weeks

of summer…

Recent months have

been terrific---ample

material for commentaries…

I want to thank YOU---

especially “scores of people”

who have approached me in

grocery stories…restaurants…

hospitals…churches…

or at the gym---saying

things about my commentaries…

People are “so generous” …

when summer gets

LONG and HOT---I will

“begin to twitch”---eager

to get RE-started…

I’ll be back in

mid-August…

THANKS for the privilege,,,

I’m Hubert Mizell, and that’s

what I think.
