Dick, I read your fine comments. You are a true gentleman and a great athlete and a great graduate of SMW, and one of many that admired you so much. So sad that many of my favorites on that team have passed, Don Harris, Ronnie Browning, etc. Very Warm Regards, Steve Wood

Coach- I came to SMW in the 62-63 school year when it was brand new, My girlfriend designed the school
flag and we were all excited. I had gone to SME the previous year and they had a pretty good football
team. I thought that if I transferred to West as a Junior that I might be able to start. I was
right but as a new school with no history and no tradition we lost damn near every game. The following year we won
almost every game and came close to winning the Sunflower League Championship. Coach Correll had a tough
road to hoe and helped us do our best. I appreciate your efforts, Coach ,and I apologize for the belated
praise. You have influenced my life in a positive way and I just wanted to thank you. I am a better person for having
played for you. RIP - Dick Willits
