Welcome to the day after Labor Day weekend. It is my sad duty to usher you back to work after the last summer holiday.
Today’s lead off is this story in the Courier-Journal about Louie Dampier’s painful road to the Hall of Fame. Consider:
The photo, half a century old, still tells a story of a teenage orphan, a basketball superstar, who by 18 had lost his mother and his father.
And it tells a story of why Dampier may be the only man to ever play the game of basketball who, deep down within his soul, secretly hoped he would never get into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
