Such a worthy recipient, Paul Kinne continues to help the Bearcat Basketball program today. Polite to the youngest, the eldest, patient no matter the question and a great friend to thousands, Paul is always a gentleman. He also was All-C.I.F. in football and held C.I.F. records for decades.
This honor couldn't be bestowed on a more deserving individual. One of the best pure athletes I have ever seen and it was my good fortune and pleasure to play alongside him way back when. He had that ability to make some of us appear to be a lot better than we actually were. Thanks Muggs.
congrats….
