Like everyone who loves the Red and Black, my bride (Cheri) and I are still hollow from the loss of Vince Dooley this past Friday. He was a man of so many talents (from history to horticulture and beyond), but what made him great was his desire to share his vast expertise with anyone who was willing to learn.
When I was growing up, he was the mythical, master-mind who helped shape my love of the Georgia Bulldogs in the 80s.
Then when I reached adulthood, I had the honor of rekindling the Golden Isles Bulldog Club (as its president), which created the opportunity to really get to know Coach Dooley.
