Personally Depressing College Basketball Note of the Week

Last night yours truly watched Notre Dame play Georgetown in the Big East tournament and a fine game it was, too.

Patrick Ewing, Jr. is one of the Hoyas' main men. OK, tempus fugit etc., but I couldn't help remembering one salient fact about the young man's distinguished father. It isn't so bad I covered Ewing Sr. in the pros, or even when HE was a Georgetown star. It was distressing, however, to realize I wrote about the elder Ewing when he was in high school at Cambridge R & L.

It gets worse. The first time I wrote a story involving Ewing Sr., he was a high school JUNIOR. Now his actual Junior is in college.
