Biographical Bytes from Bala #040
Mac Roy Jackson played college ball on one of the best Penn teams ever, then joined a professional league in Western Pennsylvania where he led a local team to a national championship. He may be better remembered as a master of the hounds and a judge of horse flesh.
Nate Ramsey played nine years with some pretty mediocre Eagle teams but was voted by fans as their favorite Eagle to ever wear uniform #24. The problem was his legal difficulties, which plagued him before, after, and during his career.
Herb Lusk was a running back who developed the habit of dropping to a knee and uttering a brief prayer after he scored a touchdown. He brought this habit with him to the pros and then quit after three seasons to become a very successful Baptist preacher. He was given a Super Bowl ring 39 years after his retirement.
All three of these men are interred at Laurel Hill West.
