Spelling names correctly was the biggest challenge of the most demanding job I've ever had. It also resulted in the funniest half of a phone conversation I've ever heard.
I'm so glad you wrote this about Craig Smith. What a treasure. As a one-time HS athlete in the area, to get a mention from him in his article was like being awarded a gold medal. There were so many like Smitty that served HS and small college athletics that don't get enough due, like Jim Carberry, Bob Taylor, Dick Rockne, and others. Thank you for sharing this story!
