re: Crowe Peele LSU Boxer

I also recall hearing that he passed.

I was at LSU in 1980 - 84. ATM's developed while I was there. Prior to that, getting cash was an issue if you didn't have an account with a BR bank. Crowe would cash checks for LSU students. I remember meeting him in his service bay, he looked me over, and cashed my check. I guess he had a natural sense for who he could trust. And I was told if you bounced a check, he had a memory like an elephant. He was a good guy and a cornerstone of the LSU community back then.

On a side note, when you were broke on a Sunday after a Saturday night of drinking, you'd go to Round the Corner (current location of The Varsity) or Picadilly, who both took checks.
