D.A. louis Grashot and I are both graduates of the Uofm (then MSU)…. Coach Rex dockery was so special to Louis and we are working with others to establish a memorial for the four who lost their lives that fateful December day in 1983. I read your rambling on Coach Dockery and loved it. May we use that in our Facebok page tribute? Coach Dockery was a special friend; his wife and family are so wonderful and i am hopeful you will give us the A-ok to use your beautiful article as part of our page…..diane and Louis Grashot…
