I was 2 years behind WIlson and looked up to him on the track team. He probably was the biggest guy in the class and threw the shot a little over 50 ft. Two years later, after a lot of work, I was a few inches under that. He had a nice smile and got along with everyone. One of our Trevose neighbors had a crush on him. I'm disappointed that I won't get to talk with him at the September reunion. RIP WIlson.
