RIP Al Featherston
Sad news. I can't imagine there aren't many of us that haven't read his countless words in articles or books.

Re: RIP Al Featherston
I posted this in the thread OY:
I knew Al when I worked in the Basketball office at Duke. Back then, our offices were downstairs in Cameron Indoor Stadium, and Coach K's weekly press conferences were next door to our offices in the Hall of Fame Room. Al always stopped in to say hello to the office staff on his way out of the press conferences. He usually brought a few slices of leftover pizza from those press conferences to share with us.
My prayers are with his family.

If you read it in Al's column it was true.
