We’re celebrating another birthday here at A View to Hugh: today is legendary UNC basketball coach Dean Smith’s 82nd.
This morning’s Daily Tar Heel features a front-page story using two Hugh Morton photographs (unfortunately Morton is not credited): the one above following the 1993 NCAA championship nearly twenty years ago, and the one below after winning the 1967 ACC championship game. As of 10:15 a.m., there’s no online version of the story, but there is an online readable version of the print edition.
Woody Durham shared some birthday thoughts about his dear friend Dean Smith on a Charlotte radio station on 2/28/13.
