Bud Harrelson (Class of 1962)


Before Baseball:
    Okay, we all know that Bud graduated in 1962, but did you know that Bud was a paperboy?  Yep, he could of  thrown  the Daily Review on your lawn and you didn't know it.
Bud has a deeper association with the Daily Review then just throwing papers.  Per  Kay Bryan (Terlinde, now James) Bud wrote a column for the Daily Review, while in high school.  Kay's going to look for some of his articles and if she finds them, I'll post em.
