I just found today about the passing of Coach Reese. I am sending my condolences and prayers to his family. I meet Coach Reese when I was just starting my teaching career in New Orleans in 1995. He was kind and always supported his players. In fact, Coach Reese and his players even helped me move with nothing asked in return. I will always remember his warmth and patience as an educator.

The Head coachs @ the time were Coach's Winston Burns.Sr. with assistance coaches, Allen, Stuart, Saunders, Herman Bacchus, and Roy Glapion to name a few.
Wayne was always a 'True' athlete with the wiliness to work hard and be the best at his positions.
Then, we met in 1963 at Xavier Prep High School. There, we were...
