One thought on “In Memoriam

  1. Several weeks ago I sent you a package referring to the death of my four-years’ Baylor Sweetheart and marriage companion for exactly fifty-eight years, as he died on the date of our fifty-eighth anniversary, making our total time on earth together sixty-two years. It was a rather large package addressed to the Head Football Coach and Staff in memory of ROYCE GLEN WEST, stand-out football 1957 through the season of 1960 and the Gator Bowl. I have never seen you mention his death that happened on December 20th, 2019, of Alzheimers. It would make our sons and myself so fulfilled if you would mention him when you remember those contributing athletes who made a difference, and he truly made a difference on the Baylor gridiron for four years. For additional information contact me at 817-349-0284 and/or email drsynthawest@yahoo.com
    Sincere thanks, Dr. Syntha Traughber West,, Class of 1960
