Our thoughts go out to the Bradford family

Our thoughts go out to Demp Bradford Jr. of the Greensboro Sports Commission, who lost his dad last weekend…..Demp has worked extremely hard on the local sports scene for several years and again our thoughts go out to his family, including his brother Ron, who played basketball for Freddy Johnson at the Greensboro Day School and later on at Guilford College.

Our thoughts also go out to Demp Jr.’s mom and to the parents of Demp Bradford Sr., a young man that left us way too early, at the age of 59…….
