| Susie Williams Dodd, John Olesky |
Susie Williams Dodd, daughter of the
late Roy Williams, Jerry West’s basketball coach at East Bank High School, is
in hospice care in The Villages, Florida and in an extremely serious health
situation. Her husband, Lynn, is checking out nursing home possibilities.
Paula Tucker and I met Susie in one
of our earlier winter stays in The Villages, where 157,000 senior citizens
enjoy every day by staying active. We had reunions with her every winter at the
monthly West Virginia Club meetings in the Paradise Recreation Center not far
from Paula’s Lady Lake house. We chatted with Susie in February at the West
Virginia Club meeting. That is the last time we saw her.
I got Susie and the
late legendary West Virginia sportswriter, Mickey Furfari, together via
telephone (by giving each the other’s number) and Mickey wrote a warm article
about Susie, her father and WVU and the Los Angeles Lakers’ legend, West.
