Looking for my old Friend, George Reider from Gloucester City
Thursday, October 25, 2007
Dear Bill,
Trying to locate old friend and Camden Industrial League (RCA BMEWS), Gloucester City Memorial AA basketball team mate George Reider.
We played many years ago (1960's) with the above teams.
Though from Camden, I was "recruited" by Rudy and younger (but bigger) brother Bob "Ish" Weichmann to play with the Mustangs.
Relations with my friends from the Camden Y were never quite the same.
It seems your "Cleary's Notebook" is the only place I've been able to find a possible mention of George.
I dug up and attached this old
clipping I’ve had since 1962 to authenticate my credentials re Geo and B-ball.
Geo might also be interested to
know that I still can hit a “trey from the top of the key” and was wondering if
he could boast the same!
Any info appreciated.
Regards,
John H. Block
(Attached is a Courier Post clipping from April 1962 with George Reider #20 and team mate, John Block #14)
Note from Bill: Anyone with information about George Reider send a comment to this post. If you have information that you do not want publicized, you can send an email to BillGCN@verizon.net and I will forward it to John.
