Anyone remember Michael Carter?

[Soaring Eagle 74]

Yeah, didn’t think so.

He was my next door neighbor in his youth. He moved with his family to Honaker, VA. I lost track of him but I heard he never married. Warez

CB that went to Minnesoda?

There are only hundreds, if not thousands, of Michael Carters in the US. Which one are you talking about?

CB that went to Minnesoda?

Switched commitments on LOI day.

The Michael Carter that I am talking about took piano lessons for about a year and 1/2. He got to be pretty good but never made it to Nashville. Floyd Cramer beat him to Nashville and Michael never fully recovered. The last I heard he was living in California with the fruits and nuts. Warez

Bingo! If he had kept his commitment maybe he would have learned to play d-back well enough to turn pro.

You sure it wasn't the Michael Carter the Scottish actor well known for portraying Gerald Bringsley, An American Werewolf in London.

As I recall I remember a guy from long ago named Michael Carter that played football at SMU and was also really good at an Olympic Track & Field event, perhaps the shot put.

ETA: Found him. He won a Silver Medal in the Shot Put in the 1984 Olympics, had a 9 year NFL career, made 3 Pro Bowls and won 3 Super Bowls with the 49ers.

ETA: And now that I read his Wiki I see his daughter won a Gold Medal in the Shot Put in the 2016 Olympics.
