This fall of 1968, I am on an Agents team in the FBI and we played against other teams in the government and in the FBI. Also on the team were Wayne Davis, John Glover, R.C. Clack, Ed Woodriffe, Jay Aldhizer and another fellow I can't remember the name of. Ed Woodriffe and the other guy were the ones who were shot and killed by an escaping bank robber later.

The team went undefeated in our section of the league but lost out in the playoffs with other sections. Wayne Davis and John Glover were both college basketball players and were very good. The rest of us were just out for the fun. Basketball was
not my game because I didn't play it until I was in college. I was just a little fellow until grade twelve, baseball was my game and in the winter I would spend time in the gym tossing the ball against the wall and fielding it, etc. I did fool around with the basketball but not enough to be very good.

We played our games in a gym out in south-east Washington. It was a one night a week affair for about eight weeks. I don't know who took the pictures but I got a bunch of them at one time. I suspect one of the guys borrowed a bureau camera and took pictures when he was on the bench. On Saturday mornings, (sometimes) Glover, Clack, Davis and I would get together over in a school yard near Glover's place for a two on two morning session. Gads I was young then.

If you think of anything you would like to ask as a result of my talking about any of these pictures let me know.
