[QUOTE="Deleted member 6494, post: 913326"] The book "Dodd's Luck" Condensed [B]CHAPTER 1[/B] Bobby Dodd was born in Galax, Virginia. Named Robert Lee Dodd, after General Robert E. Lee, Dodd claimed Galax as his home and always referred to himself as a Virginian. Galax is a Mountain Town in Virginia, and the Appalachian Trail runs straight through the main street. Electricity came to Galax the same year Dodd was born there. There was a large lot adjacent to the Dodd house, where the local kids played tackle football, three or four to a side. Bobby also loved baseball and played on the neighborhood teams. He would often grab his fishing pole and go fishing. His Dad taught him the art of playing cards, shooting pool, and gymnastics. When Bobby was an assistant at Tech, he would bet players a milkshake he could walk on his hands, ten yards, faster than they could. He generally won. Dodd’s family owned the only pool table in town. Dodd played the violin, but not too well, so he switched to the ukulele. His days in Galax were prior to the age of high school attendance. [/QUOTE]
