I love the picture of Gus in the end zone when Seivers caught the pass that beat the tiglets. The caption says that he was holding a briefcase full of cash. :rolleyes: :biggrin: Title: Re: Gus Manning has died......

He might have been a year ahead of Dad -- he was friends with much of my family, especially my uncle Joe Caldwell. A good man who was admired by all. Title: Re: Gus Manning has died......

Title: Re: Gus Manning has died...... Post by: VinnieVOL on February 15, 2023, 03:09:19 EST So glad I’m old enough that I was able to experience Gus, Haywood Harris, Bill Anderson, and of course Ward. They just don’t make them like that anymore.

They just don’t make them like that anymore. My voices of my youth are gone….. and it sucks. I think it is why I enjoy the folks who take the modern clips and put Ward’s voice over so much. |
