Dear Editor:
Hamilton County lost a special person! I always enjoyed talking with Jelly. I will always be amazed after games when he would interview me and scribble his notes on his paper. I would tease him and say, How can you read those notes? I love the History of Indiana Basketball and it never failed, Jelly would give me a history lesson or story when we talked. It has not been the same the past couple years when he retired. No one will ever do it like Jelly did. I am glad my coaching career crossed paths with Jelly.
