I was Southwestern Louisiana’s sports information director from 1971 to ’73 and had the privilege of working with Coach Shipley (An Accidental Hero, May 2) during his final three years at the school. He was an unassuming leader of basketball integration, choosing to recruit the best talent regardless of race, even though he knew his actions would create controversy. Shipley’s friendship enriched my life, and I am happy that I had the privilege to know him.
