The phone rang earlier in the week as I was closing in on the lead topic for this piece. It said “Floyd Sagely” on the phone.
Sadly, a woman was speaking. I knew it couldn’t be good.
His phone calls had become less frequent and there were always explanations about poor health that might keep him from hearing me speak on the Razorbacks in Fort Smith.
That was sort of the point of those calls, but my great friend still wanted to discuss the Razorbacks. He had both questions for me, but there were also encouraging words for fans.
