    My son Al worshipped Meadowlark like a lot of kids of his day. He used to practice all his ball tricks and we took him to see the Globetrotters whenever they came to our town. He was a real sports hero in his time.
    Sad to lose good role models for kids.

    My brothers loved Meadowlark , I saw him play a couple of times at the Municipal Auditorium where Elvis played lots of time .
    It a shame old Cosby won't have people speaking nicely of him when he did .
