Sweet Bird Of Youth....
a 1948 shot of north carolina great charlie justice:
reunited with his game used jersey, 55 years later:
short bio:
After the war, Justice was heavily recruited by both Duke and North Carolina. Being a war veteran, he knew he had no need of a college scholarship. Justice sent a proposal to both universities. Allow him to attend on his G.I. tuition money and give the scholarship to his wife. Only North Carolina accepted this. Thus Justice attended and played football at UNC where he played tailback for four years. While there, he was named an All-American in 1948 and 1949, and finished second in the Heisman Trophy.
