Alabama Recruitment

[1bamadad]

My Daughter is at Alabama now and I graduated from there many years ago. Bear Bryants wife Mary Harmon was indeed an Alpha Gam. Saban did go through rush. My neighbors daughter was in her rho chi group. Have not heard where she pledged yet.

Yes, and their granddaughters, Stella Gray Bryant and Mae Martin Bryant, pledged back in the mid-'80s.

How bout' that! I remember a cute picture in a book about the Bear with Mae Martin when she was a little girl placing a Houndstooth hat on a smiling Grandad's head when he was with (if I remember right) the New York Jets' owner at the time right when the Bear started wearing Houndstooth's! Before then, I think he wore Brown Fedora's on the sideline!

Oops!! I just looked at that picture on page 355 of "The Last Coach." According to the description, it was grandaughter Mary Harmon Tyson, not Mae Martin Bryant. Don't know why I remembered it wrong!! Was right in every other detail!!
