What's this?

What a treat meeting Paul "Clang" Adams at Hardywood last night!


He was VT '76 and played both football and baseball at VT. He was the first African American to play baseball at Tech. He is currently a moving force in charity programs in the Richmond area. Fondly remember sitting on "The Hill" in the old baseball stadium, watching him hit home runs off the Cassel Coliseum walls. Great, great guy!
