Thirty-three years ago, my husband Chuck made one of the greatest plays in Arizona football history. For those Arizonans or younglings who may not understand the historical relevance to Wildcats fans, here’s the scoop. In the fourth quarter of the Arizona vs. Arizona State game, Chuck — an average-sized, fierce safety with the number 6 on his back — picked off ASU quarterback Jeff Van Raaphorst in the end zone and ran 106 yards for a UA touchdown, cementing a victory against our biggest rivals.
Many beautiful people have shared with me their memories of that day. You can feel their love for Chuck as if he were their own son or brother.
