Abner Haynes ('62)

[greenjoe]

I got my Winter edition of "The North Texan" and there is an article about Abner Haynes induction into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. The article says the induction ceremony will be Tuesday March 11 in Waco. This is the first news I've heard of Abner's election to the HOF since the news was announced.

This seems to me a "must do' event for Mean Green fans. I'll find out more and post what I find next week.

Go Abner Haynes

GO MEAN GREEN
