[QUOTE="armo859, post: 1545763, member: 29994"] Though I had already moved on to DC and college/grad school by then, my parents (both professors at the U of I) met Lou on one of their evening walks. Lou and Mary lived in the next development down off of South Prospect. Their friendship evolved over the years, culminating with them hosting each other at dinner, and my parents serving as honorary assistant coaches. I wish my dad could remember which game it was, and I would try to track down a picture or video. All I remember is mom talking about what a tightly wound bundle of nerves Ken (the Snake) Norman was, which means it was some time between 1984 and 1987. Unfortunately, mom died over 4 years ago. She was the official memory keeper of the family. What my dad does remember is how kind and gracious Lou was and that Mary was/is a wonderful woman. We also shared a laugh last night that Lou was instantly recognizable thanks to the famous Lou-do. [/QUOTE]
