Now residing in texas, where i have built my home and live alone , and am a 28 yr survivor of HIV, derived from a blood transfusion while active duty military via oral surgery done in 1983. I now devote my retirement to my preoccupations of fishing and puttering around my modest home,,along with writting songs and poems which i have done for 35 plus years, as a singular vocation. I feel that in all of us as spirited beings ,we each do hold potential for compassion some more than others perhaps but still inherant to us all,,,I write poetry to convey those instincts to those that are less aware but require reminders that they too are beings of empathy I trust that my works will offer some a peace of mind and awareness so needed in this fast paced all too short existance we all share and to some degree will offer solice in reading words that instill hope for a better tomorrow, gleened from living, this is my short legacy i wish to leave.

The Southern Textile Basketball Tournament

A History, 1921-1997

By: Mac C. Kirkpatrick,Thomas K. Perry

In 1905 Lawrence Peter Hollis went to Springfield, Massachusetts, before beginning his job as the secretary of the YMCA at Monaghan Mill in Greenville, South Carolina. While there, he met James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, and learned of the fledgling game. Armed with Dr. Naismith's rules of the game and a basketball he bought in New York, Hollis returned to the mill and changed the face of athletics in South Carolina. Lawrence Peter Hollis was one of the first to introduce basketball south of the Mason-Dixon line, and the game quickly gained popularity in the textile mill villages throughout South Carolina. In 1921 Hollis and others organized a tournament to determine the best mill team, and thus the southern Textile Basketball Tournament was born. Over the years, some of the south's top cage talent played in the tourney, including "Smokey" Barbare, Lucille Foster Thomas, Bert Hill, Earl Wooten, Billy Cunningham, Pete Maravich, Sue Vickers and Tree Rollins. Decade-by-decade, the history of one of the longest running basketball tournaments is provided, along with profiles of many prominent participants. Full rosters for all teams in all tournaments are given in the appendices, along with all-tournament selections and members of the Southern Textile Athletic Hall of Fame.

Textile League Baseball

South Carolina's Mill Teams, 1880-1955

By: Thomas K. Perry

After the Civil War, the Yankee textile industry began a steady transfer south, bringing with it the tradition of a mill village, usually owned by the mill's owner, where the workers and their families lived. The new game of baseball quickly became a foundation of mill village life. A rich tradition of textile league baseball in South Carolina is here reconstructed from newspaper accounts and interviews with former players and fans. Players such as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Champ Osteen made their marks as "lintheads" in these semipro leagues. The fierce rivalries between competing mills and the impact of the teams on mill life are recounted. Appendices list club records and rosters for many of the teams from 1880 through 1955.
