Super nice man that loved to laugh! My Mom, who you know, worked for the Sierra College and helped me get the job there before I headed down to Stanford as a freshman. Bill Walsh was very kind to me when he found out I was going to be a Stanford Cardinal. It was a fantastic first job!RC was a student of my father's at a little liberal arts college in Idaho. He was a wonderful basketball player in college, too, playing alongside his roommate Elgin Baylor. Years later, when the college had alumni gatherings here in the Bay Area, RC used to come. He had been in an auto accident a few years earlier that really debilitated him, but he hobbled in and was always one of the kindest and most genteel of souls. Fond memories.Â
