"ANOTHER SAD DAY FOR HARVEY"

I learned this morning of the passing of Jim Wetzel. Anyone who attended Harvey in the 50's or 60's knows who this fine man was. An excellent teacher, coach, and all around good person.
Coach Wetzel took over as Harveys head football coach and had to follow the legendary Jack Britt. Mr. Weitzel also was an assistant basketball coach for many years.
To understand what a great influence this man was on so many students as well as athletes was how many stayed in touch with him after his retirement.
He told me once kidding me, how much easier it was training dogs after putting up with some of us in school.
Coach you will be remembered and missed by so many. Thank-you and God Bless.
