He was a great running back and a good guy. About 20 years ago, he and his wife founded the Gayle and Ardythe Sayers center at The Cradle, an adoption agency in Evanston, IL. (Full disclosure: the agency was founded by my grandmother in 1923.) The Sayers center is set up to encourage African-American adoptions. He had adopted a child from the agency in (I think) the 60s.

What a wonderful thing your Grandmother did. Fantastic!

Thanks Lex. She was pretty amazing. The agency is still operating, and its 100th anniversary is coming up in 2023. Sure hoping the celebration won't have to be virtual...
