Old School Reunion

The crowds are starting to pick up at the CIAA Tournament. I walked in the arena Wednesday night and you could feel the energy. The seats were filling up for the Winston-Salem State vs. St. Paul's game and old friends were starting to meet for their annual get together. I was fortunate to be in ear-shot when a couple of tourney regulars reunited for the first time in 47 years. Ernest Holley and William Hale were fraternity brothers (Kappas) at Tuskegee Institute but had not seen each other since they left in 1959. Holley, who lives in Stanton, Va., and Hale, of Cary, N.C., had each come to the tournament several times over the past 20 years but hadn't run into each other until Wednesday. Wonder how they recognized each other after all these years. "His face hasn't changed that much," Holley said. "Yeah, but my waistline has," Hale joked.

Have you run into any long lost friends? Anybody you're hoping to see? Post your comments at bottom.
