THURSDAY DAILY

LONGTIME BASKETBALL COACH BILL FLEMING DIED EARLY THIS MORNING
FROM A LUNG DISEASE, AT HIS HOME IN THE DES MOINES AREA.    HIS LAST
VISIT TO MAQUOKETA WAS LATE LAST YEAR WHEN HE WAS HERE TO
AUTOGRAPH HIS NEW BOOK ABOUT HIS CAREER.     HE WAS COACH IN MAQUOKETA FOR 34 YEARS BEFORE RETIRING.    HE HAD MANY VERY SUCCESSFUL SEASON WITH THE CARDINALS.    NOTHING OFFICIAL, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD HIS FUNERAL
AND BURIAL WILL BE HERE IN MAQUOKETA SOMETIME LATE NEXT WEEK.
I DON'T HAVE HIS AGE, BUT BELIEVE HE WAS IN THE MID TO LATE 70'S.

DENNIS VOY
