Carson Oldham was a super nice coach and teacher. I think he was originally from Sanford. Besides coaching, he also taught Algebra. J.L. (John Lacey) Lassiter was a heck of a baseball player. I'll always remember these two guys.

You're right all around Old Timer. Coach Oldham was just a super person, period. Nothing but class. I played baseball for him in 59/60, and had several courses taught by him. And he was a native of Sanford.

As for J. L. Lassiter, he had a great looking, smooth swing with the baseball bat; and mighty efficient too. Batted left-handed, and always hit with a high batting average and with power to boot. Another super nice guy.
