Living will: Bill Dooley is healthy again

Posted Jul 18, 2007

The Old Trench Fighter is 73 going on a second chance these days, and he'll take it, thank you kindly. Bill Dooley is a touch hard of hearing now and not what you'd call light on his feet. He is, on the other hand, vertical. For him, that counts far more than all those victories over Wolfpacks and Cavaliers ever did. "I tell you, I'm getting back to my old self," he said the other day while ambling down the pier toward his 30-footer. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
