Coach kudos
To the editor:
I was pleased to see the induction of Bill Hanscom in the first Maine Basketball Hall of Fame.
He was my basketball and baseball coach in the 1940s at Presque Isle High School and a second father to me. We had to get A’s and B’s and no smoking or drinking.
When I got out of the service (during the Korean conflict), I bowled with him in 1954, and he was an excellent candlepin bowler, representing the Mooseleuk Club of Presque Isle, who won the Eastern Maine candlepin tournaments in the 1940s.
