Coach Lewis's 70th Wedding Anniversary

Congratulations to former University of Houston coach Guy V. Lewis and his wife Dena on their 70th wedding anniversary! The Houston Chronicle has a tribute article, for which I thank Ted Nance for bringing to my attention.

"Although I was not at the Game of the Century (I was a little over five years old and living in Los Angeles at the time), I have always been fascinated by it. I grew up a big UCLA hoops fan and earned my Bachelor's degree there in 1984. Then, after receiving my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1989, I did a two-year post-doctoral fellowship (1989-1991) at the University of Houston. I thus have formal ties to both UCLA and UH."
