Editor's note: Former BYU player Craig Raymond died last week after a short battle with cancer. His former roommate and longtime Deseret News contributor Ken Driggs remembers the man and his impact at BYU.
In the fall of 1963, Craig Raymond, all 6-foot-11 of him, arrived on the BYU campus as a freshman.
