I remember watching Andy running laps around the perimeter of the Mer Rouge High baseball field, and up and down the highway, in the mid-1960s, LONG before distance running was a "thing". He ordered a pair of track shoes through the mail, and became the first (and only) Mer Rouge High School Track Team. We all went over to Bastrop High to watch him in a track meet, and to cheer him on in the mile run.
Haven't seen him in many a year, but still have a lot of memories of a Real Good Guy, who always had a smile.
