Memory of Brad Carel
Monday, November 5th, 2007It was sad to hear about Brad’s untimely death. It really brought back memories of him. I remember way back in 6th grade when Washington school played Longfellow school in basketball. We were cross town rivals. Brad could dribble circles around me and everyone else on the team.
In 7th grade the coaches called him the best basketball player they had seen in decades. True! In 9th grade he played on the ‘B’ squad. In 10th grade he dressed for the ‘A’ squad basket ball team. It was fun to watch him play.
Brad also starred on the Football and Track teams. His induction to the NHS hall of fame came way to late in my mind. Brad was, what we call a natural.
It was great to talk to Brad at the 10th reunion, he always had a smile on his face. I will miss him.
Brad was a big part of the best class that ever came out of Northfield High School!
