Dear, Coach Sutton We wish you the best in your recovery. I remember when my dad was in the hospital after his car accident back in the the 95-96 season and he missed most of the games. I went to ever basket banquet since 92-93 season till the year on the plane crash which put a little holt on things. I got autographed balls for most of the past years but that one year I didn't spend any money on a basketball and got a poster signed instead and deceided to have everyone on the team including coaches sign it Get Well Soon etc. to my dad. That was the only piece of memorbilla I got that year and though it wasn't direct to myself it was surely special thing. I took the poster to my dad and hung it on the wall over his hospital bed. I knew he really would really appeciate it as he is a big OSU basketball fan and we have had tickets since your arrival Coach Sutton. I truely believe that helped in his recovery ! feeling really cared about in the OSU family. So we here in the Charlton remember and send our best wishes and blessings on a speedy recovery for you Coach Sutton. Sincerely, The Charlton Family ============================================================================================= Coach Sutton, Don't worry about those scraggly 'ole wolves at the door...You've got thousands of Cowboys who will keep them at bay until you get your feet back under you.
