UNC's Oldest Living Basketball Alum to Lead "Walk For Health"

Posted Oct 1, 2015
Bobby Gersten is 95 years old. A 1942 Carolina alum, he’s UNC’s oldest living former basketball and baseball player. He helped build Carolina’s basketball dynasty in the 1950s by recruiting players from New York to play for Frank McGuire. And today, closing in on 100, he’s still as active and energetic as ever. On Saturday, October 10, Bobby G. will lead UNC’s “Walk for Health.” (Chapelboro.com)
