A look back at the 50th anniversary reunion of UNC's 1947 Sugar Bowl team

Posted Dec 23, 2019
I remembered the Christmas card I received from Sarah and Charlie Justice in mid-December of 1996 that had a hand-written note from Sarah telling me that Charlie would be a participant at the coin-toss before the 1997 Sugar Bowl game in the Louisiana Superdome. It was part of the 50th anniversary trip for the 1947 UNC Sugar Bowl team. (UNC.edu)
