re: Pistol Pete Maravich died 27 years ago today.

Got to meet Pete the first time as a little kid at the Superdome before a Jazz game when I was little. Took a Polaroid of me sitting on his lap. Lost it in Katrina. Was in high school when he died. One of the mothers picking us up for carpool said he had died. Couldnt believe it. Was beyond sad. Pete and Archie were my heroes growing up (and a LOT of other kids in New Orleans).
