    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.

    The Choo-Choo photos I had saved on my harddrive. I have many Carolina b-ball photos on my website under photo archives. My screen name plus dot com. I literally have 1,000s more random sports photos saved on my computer. I also own tons of negatives, slides and hard copies. Carolina stuff is my favorite.

    Do you happen to have many 1980 UNC football photo's...?

    Or many of Will Graves from the first Michigan State game in 2008 or the BC game in 2009?

    THANKS!

    Nothing from this century. But my hoarding alter ego has many years of back issues of mid 80s "Carolina Blue" in my mom's attic.
