I was born and raised in MC, Grad from CCHS in 1943, after 3 years in the navy, played one year for Gordie Spear yhere at MC Juco, then played a year at Wyoming, (We were in the final four and Bob Kurland and Okie State beat us) I then went with the Nuggets, we were the first pro team in Denver, and there were no teams west of us. The Lakers were at Minneapolis, and the teams didnot want to come way out to Denverand after two years they booted us out of the league, Nuggets came back in 1976. Bob Six owned Continental Airlines (He was married to Ethyl Merman at that time) He gave us an old DC 3, and a couple pilots who had been flying with the Tigers in Indo-China. I have some fantastic stories from the original Nuggets. Miss my sec. since I have been retired.. DR. Jack Cotton
