My dad knew him. I must have been about 18 or so, and I was somewhere with my dad and met him. My dad said something like "here's my son" and I introduced myself, giving my first name (remember, I'm with my dad, who knows Boots, and who knows my dad by name - first and last). Boots proceeds to light into me about 'kids these days' not wanting to give their last name when they introduce themselves and only ever want to use their first name.
Very bizarre.
Funny thing is, as little as it made sense in that particular situation, it apparently made an impression on me, as to this day I still think about it whenever meeting someone new, and make a point to give my last name.
RIP

Anyone remember checking for rats or him throwing on the gloves in the back room of the green trailer at PBS? He set quite a few smartasses straight, back in the day. He probably wouldn't last a week in today's school system. RIP coach

Introducing yourself by your first and last name says a lot about where you come from.

Boots and Bob Morgan were 2 old salty dogs that scared the shite out of me as a kid

Always got a kick out of him calling a standout football player, all dirt road team.
