An 8th Grade Wrestling Memory

Arnie Moore brought this photo from Alan Huey to our attention this week

1969 Seventh and Eighth Grade Wrestling Champs

The photo was part of the memorabilia my mom collected over the years.  She passed away in Feb and my sister divided up the old tidbits among us sibs that Mom had stored in tubs.  In the photo, I was in eighth grade at Southeast.   The division between City High and West was always a little odd as I lived much closer to City than West, but there ended up 30 or so of us from Southeast that went to West.

Note, some of the wrestlers (at least my cousin, Ed Aldeman)were 7th graders. From 1969 per my calculation. 


I sent a partial of the flip side so you can see the sports write up about one of Iowa’s great basketball teams
