The Passing of Coach Kay Yow

  The Atlantic Coast Conference runs deep in my family.

    Both of my daughters will be graduates of Clemson University.  My brother-in-law was a Morehead Scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill.  I grew up in Orange County, North Carolina, home of UNC.  My family’s farm is a short drive from Duke University, and I have been a Duke fan most of my life.

    But my wife and I are graduates of North Carolina State University, and the Wolfpack family has suffered a terrible loss with the passing of Kay Yow, the Hall of Fame coach of the NCSU women’s basketball team. 

    This past Saturday she died of cancer at age 66.  She had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987.  The disease recurred three times.
