Anybody know what his major was at OHIO. I assume it wasn't Parking Lot Science. ;-) That sounds more like a major at Olentangy Tech.
Reminds me of when OSU's Katsenmoyer needed to take summer school courses to remain eligible. Later it was learned and revealed that his three courses were Aids Awareness, Music Appreciation and Golf.
I took Golf as an elective my sophomore year. My instructor....Kermit Blosser. Hardly a "cake" course.
You could make a case that golf should be a required course as I have conducted a lot of business on the golf course over the years.
I volunteered in the Ohio University Sports Information office and was in charge of the golf media guide, press releases and photo shoots for two years. Words can't express was a kind person and gentleman that Kermit Blosser was. I still have a thank you letter that he sent to me in 1985.
After my last final winter quarter of 1986, I stayed a couple of extra days to finish up the pre-season information for the golf team. My last task as a student was to organize the photo shoot for the 1986 golf team. Harry Snavely took all of the individual and team photos and asked Kermit if that was it. Kermit said no we have one more photo we need to take which surprised me because I had a checklist with me. Kermit walked over wearing his Ohio University golf blazer and put his arm around me and posed for one last picture before I got in my car to leave Athens for the last time as a student.
I drove up from Richmond to meet my Dad for Frank Solich’s first spring game and we spent nearly a half hour visiting with Kermit. My father was in junior high school when Kermit coached basketball at Columbus South and they enjoyed exchanging stories about some of their common friends / students.
When Kermit died, I watched the video tribute and would you believe, the picture of the two of us was part of the tribute. I saw the hardcopy of the picture a couple of years ago here at the house but not sure where my wife put it or I would post the picture here.
Here is a link about Kermit for those of you who are Students or recent Grads and may not know much about Kermit:
