Alvie always liked to golf. He got pretty darn good at it. You can see in this picture how good he was. This was at something called the Kaiser Open. This was a HUGE picture on the front page of the sports section of a newspaper. I dunno which newspaper, but i think it was an important one. |
To hear a Quicktime audiofile of Alvie's memories of Stan Leonard, you can click here (and then you have to be patient for a bit) |
