First, I have always been an ACC fan.
I was born in Munfordville, KY where a civil war battle was fought. My father was a career Navy man. So I lived near Memphis, TN, in Charleston, SC, and in Honolulu, Hawaii. However, over the years I mostly lived in Norfolk and Newport News Virginia. So I mostly grew up in ACC Country watching ACC sports. MY teams back then were Virginia Tech (aka: VPI)_and the North Carolina Tarheels.
I graduated from High school from Denbigh High in Newport News in 1968 and joined the Navy in 1968. After the my father retired from the Navy the whole family moved back to Kentucky and we all still live in Louisville. I graduated from the University of Louisvill and a caree in Banking.
So you can see why I so glad to have Louisville join the ACC,
I played football, wrestled and ran track. I hunt. fish and play paintball. Oh and I am also retired from the Kentucky Army National Guard.
So I hope you can understand, who I am and why I am so happy and honored by you'll adding my be loved Louisville to the ACC.
