So please come on by. And this is a real treat for me. And I got these three guys with me. We're
gonna go from left to right. Flage A believe it or not, close their doors fifty years ago, and you're gonna celebrate it this weekend. Chuck, Yes, last name Chuck Horal. Oh, I've heard so many stories about you and they all cannot be true. They're probably more than that there occurred Oscar brom How are you hey, I'm glad to be here. It's good seeing you. Well year again, Chuck. What years are flage A? Nineteen sixty through sixty four. I graduated. I graduated nineteen sixty six.
Carl Carl Schmith class of seventy one. Oh, you're the young guy. Hey, you know what. Johnny McGrath was one of my quarterbacks of flage A. He was recruiting me to come on the board. He's the greatest recruiting line of all time. He said, we need some younger blood, and I'm seventy one younger. All right, I've talked about the flag A guys, and you guys are you know? I got my Braves coffee
cup at home. I took coffee out of you guys. Were a West End Catholic school that operated until nineteen seventy four started when forty two forty two, why did flag A close down? Oscar? Well, I don't know if I could give the full answer, and that our enrollment had gone down, and I think we were down to that last year we graduated sixty five
students and there might have been various reasons for that. I think some of the more of that Bishop David had opened in the South End, the South End years before, and that may have taken to students and we just weren't getting as many. They weren't get as many Catholic students. There was declining enrollment in the changing demographics in the West correct, Okay, where in the West End. Was it exactly right at the end of the River Park driveway
and forty four Street, right next to Shawney Park. It's right across the street from park. The original dirt ball right across right across. What is it now? It's apartments for seniors. It's beautiful, okay, beautiful play so very so people. Some people are driving around going flage and how I know that flag. We're all Catholics, We're all in the same group, so we know flage in the history. But there's some famous uh, chuck, there's some famous guys that went to flage A for example, probably the
two most famous. Or how sn Ellenberger and Paul Harning they didn't play together, Yes they did. They did play together football, basketball, baseball were one year apart, but they played together. They did play together. It seemed like a pretty good team. That leads into my next question. Any astronauts or smart guys. Well, look a couple of names that people will know around here. Dan Omer with Starred the Bats, Yes, and Jim
Patterson the baseball stadium all flash well. George Fisher, the former mayor's father, Yeah. And Larry Clark, who's yes as South South thing guy. But okay, why you all are unusual? Okay, I spoke at your luncheon twelve fifteen years ago. It was crazy. I had a great time, but I walked in. I couldn't believe how many people were there. Why have you all stuck together and kept this flage a thing going? You mean we're unusual in the fact that forty of our living alums or members of
our alumni. Yes, yes, so we're gonna have five hundred people at this event, Yes, five hundred. By the way, we'll get to the celebrations. I'll give you one answer. So Paully Miller, the coach that won the first four state championships, a great innovative offensive coach, he coined this term burning desire. That's how you win, that's how you beat
other teams may have better talent than you. And that was that went beyond the athletes, right, the whole student body believed in this notion of burning desire to succeed. And then the Xaverian brothers, the same brothers that that teacher, and they instilled enough values, service, taking care of your community, how important education is. But there's a special sauce in there somewhere. Well, I'll tell you. And the other thing was it was a great
camaraderie between the students and all the students weren't from the West End. I lived at Traveling and I went down there and I got kind of got recruited to go down there and play football, kind of got recruited. Okay, I'm trying to be that we might want to take a look at it. And then we got brothers. Yeah, yeah, Well the big payoff was a free sandwich. It looked played football for it, but we had there's
a certain camaraderie and it was everybody worked together as a team. And you know what when we get together now, immediately, when you get together with your former teammates and classmates, that feeling comes back. And I think that's one reason why we've been able to stay together so long in this organization. It's like you're almost you go back in time almost, and you get that
feeling. And I think everybody in an organization has that. We talked about the burning desire and Paul, you know, it would be a burning desire to win the football game, but it was more than that. It was a burning desire to do the best you can or whatever you could do, and a lot of us from those Varian brothers then have gone where we try to give back to the community. A lot of guys working a lot of different are charitable organizations. Chuck so on those same notes, flage A again
celebrating fifty years since the day they closed. I posted on Facebook and one answer was, those guys are all filled with piss and vinegar. It's very descriptive, but that is Uh, that's I think it's accurate for you guys. Why is that. Well, one of the things the entire student body embodied the sports programs, particularly football. You couldn't distinguish really from the players
and the student body, and and still and still do. Our Friday afternoon pep rallies outside the school could probably be heard by up and four Street. I mean, we dismissed school two periods early. They have our pep rallies and Coach Miller and Coach Hummel were some of the probably the most enthusiastic speakers,
and it got wild. But uh, they all embodied the school and still do, and particularly since we're closed and we're a unique small community, I think that draws us all Again, Well, I think everybody was I mean we're talking about their great few we had for the schools. And actually there were some committees that tried to move the school right, and uh, I think that they got some negative feedback from some of the other Catholic schools,
right saying, hey, we got Trinity. Now, that's because that's the next lead in you know, yeah, that's the next leading I don't think they want were looking at the seminary grounds out there, all right, but in the Trinity people were like, yeah, that's where we played, and we got overruled on that. Yeah. So, uh so a lot of those guys went to Trinity. That you all sent your sons to Trinity, That's that's for sure. Yeah, you all worked for just for fort
just for notes here. You all weren't going to send your kids to Saint X. A few did, and we still like them, but yeah, a few did, but most of them went to Trinity. Yeah, there was a there was a healthy there was a healthy rivalry. And I'm gonna go throw hate out there, but most you all did not like saying it intense rivalry. Most people don't look, most people don't know that. But the last game of the season, Flage next was on Sunday afternoon. And
the reason it was Sunday afterday after that's when we played them. The reason it was such a heated rivalry. Besides, you had the Zaverian bros. Taught at both schools. We were the little little brother of the Sax. They've been in business one hundred years. They they agreed to play us. They were like six touchdowns. Favorite beat them thirteen to twelve in the first game. First game you play, Well, that was the Parkway Field park back then? Yeah? Is that Parkway Field? And then at the fair
Grounds. Then we ended up playing the Faragraphs and we played on Sunday after two o'clock Sunday afternoon. Yeah, there'll be fifteen thousand people there. Yeah, it was always as crazy. So football. Now all of us played football. Okay, Well, who had the Who was the best football team? What year for Flager had the best football? Yeah? Paulish Book. Paulish Book clearly identifies that the best overall team was the nineteen sixty one team
because of their offensive uh strategies and abilities with Rick quarterback. The best. The toughest team is the nineteen fifty two team with Paul Horning and Snollen Berger. But he singles those two teams out, and the sixty one team was our only undefeated team, and that wasn't Redmond your center? Well that is interesting, you know. So Bobby Redmond was by center at Louisville. Oh,
at Louisville. He was at Louisville. Yeah, And uh so when I went into the Kentucky High School Hall of Fame with his son, that's that's say, that's awesome. And uh I remember because we're all in our suits and I looked at Bobby and there's all these people around. I went like that and he ran over, went over and got he got into Oh yeah, I used to always say we had a close relationship. Hey, let me speak for the new So the sixty seven state championship team they were
playing Owensboro. Owensborough was undefeated. They had outscored their opponents three hundred and twelve to zero. They had to move the game from Friday night to Saturday at Manuel Stadium and Flag beat them twenty one. Was this nineteen sixty seven? That is crazy? Well I get it. I mean I get why you would have a connection to a school that was doing such great things and
it wasn't it wasn't, was it. What was the enrollment in Flage, Well, it was the largest was about one thousand and one by largest Catholic school in the area at that point. And when I graduated, we had three hundred kids in the play right, and that was about we had about three or four hundred, and you know, at the end, we were winning football games because of what the guys before had done. I knew who
put I knew who wore sixty three before me. And the coaches like, we would play Trindy and say next and they'd have sixteen seventy guys on the sideline, We'd have twenty eight. You know what. Our coaches would say, you can only put eleven on the field at one time. There you go. So you'll all used to all so travel you all were like they look, Trindy started in about ten twelve years ago, maybe longer than that, traveling, but you guys were doing it back in the sixties or fifties.
In the fifties, we were still doing it. When I played, we traveled oak Ridge and they had a school down there was a five year school. Yeah, we played down there at Cincinnati schools only went to New Orleans to play. He went all over? Was there a Lexington rivalries? They weren't good enough? They weren't good they weren't good enough. Hey, Tony, Tony, we had to play up, not down. Come. All right, So let's talk about this celebration fifty years. I have the
pamphlet here, you're gonna have a mass at Saint Raphaeld. First. Now, who's doing the who's doing the mass? Who's the who's the priest? Father Ben Brown is the primary celebrant. Uh. He was a nineteen sixty five graduate, and he also said the mass at the closing in nineteen seventy. O. Way, where is he? Does he live in Louisville? Does you have just he's he's in Louisville. And we have two other father Dennis Cousins, who's around Bardstown sixty five grad and Father Dietrich, who is
a nineteen fifty one grill. How do I get a ticket to this? Uh? What's the sermons? Let me know the sermon? Are they gonna point some of you guys out? It's probably the sermon on the mount? Uh? So you go back, y'all do it all over again. Most funny you ever had? Oh yeah, flash a was. It was a great school to go to. I mean I actually did the shively and went down there to go to school, and it was one of the best decisions
I ever made. First of all, you have a lot of the students there, they in the business world real well, oh yeah, hey, we had the same teachers as say next they went back and forth between the different schools. We had the Dessered brothers, and you know, it was just a great place to be. Well call have the camaraderie, That's what I'm saying, Carla d of you. Well, I was one of four, the fourth or four brothers to going to Flash and my and our father
was the same next grad. Now, now I see I see pictures because people see Carl now and they don't know, like the you didn't have the fou man shoe and the long hair at the flage A. I'm going to assume no, I did not. No, he was and he was he was alive and then uh yeah, yeah he was a big, a little bit bigger guy. See people see Karl like that ain't the guy? And that trust me, in the nineteen seventies, he's gonna knock your looking off.
Look in nineteen seventy. I was one hundred and eighty five pound offensive guard pulling guard. Oh, we trapped everybody. We trapped the center of the guard. Oh yeah, yeah we did. So you said, I got I don't want to get into football, but I love to talk about So were these complicated? Uh? Were these schemes that you guys had? Let me let me tell you this. I've spent a lot of time with Howard Schnellenberger and Paul Horning. I was at Miami with Schnellenberger and Horning.
We created Paul Horning work. Both of them said to me that was one of the most innovative football offensive football coaches they were ever been around. And look at the guys they were around, Bear Bryant, Don Shula. Yeah, and and they Paul. Uh, Paul Miller was way ahead of his time and the type of offensive he ran, throwing the ball, the drive series run. Uh, this thing is five hundred people at the reception at at Assumption because Ron ron cortis the volleyball coach, went to flash. He
did go to Flash. Yeah, yeah, he was. He was a year ahead of me. The school the circle kind of just keeps growing out. Okay, so real quick, no one. So somebody said there because a lot of people on Facebook are my age and are like my dad went there and there's throwing pictures of his letterman sweater and all that and it, so nobody can This is sold out. If they want to show up and pay their twenty bucks, we'll find a seat for You'll find a seat for
Assumption in the gym. Indeed, okay, uh, And the mass I'm sure is is probably sold. There's always room at church. I got going chuck left to right. Give me one teacher or brother that affected you or a coach that affected you moving forward in life from flagyy chuck coach Norbahamma. I was alignment. I played tackle and he was tough as dirt on all of us, and quite frankly, he taught me how to be strong. My last two years I played for poly Miller for two years and my life
so I had two great coaches. But last two years I played for Jim Kennedy, and Jim Kennedy was also a great coach. Uh. He was a perfect gentleman and he worked her tail off and he the lessons Kennedy taught you you kept, oh kept forever and Jim's still alive. He's in his nineties. You think he was really proud of you? Oh? I think he was. Jim Jim was just a great mentor to all the guys on the team. Carl, Yeah, named Mike Hamilton English teacher. He encouraged

I was an English miner in school and the journalism made He let me read Gone with the Wind in class every day instead of doing the regular English stuff.
