Default Coach Ray Graves

I meant to mention that I saw Coach Ray Graves celebrate his 91st birthday out at Tampa Bay Downs on New Years Eve. He was in a wheelchair but looked in great shape and he was having a blast.

For those of you not familiar with Coach Graves, he is a remarkable man. He played for the Steagles during WWII and helped Dr. Cade promote his little invention called Gatorade. He was a great coach at the University of Florida as well as their AD.

It was nice to see him out at the track having a great time.
