Melvin was a great guy. He used to call me Abe Lincoln. When asked why, he would tell me "Because you're so tall and you're so ugly.". :-) HAHAHA!  I always got a kick out of that. He was shot to death in 1974 I think. It is always a bad feeling to know that someone you know was lost in such a way. I'll always remember Melvin and I think of him often and I've told many people the story above about Melvin. RIP friend. You are remembered.

Mike Brrell, you are so right about football. He was such a fast runner--really tore it up on the field.  He was another outstanding CHS athlete.

I knew of Melvin from football. We probably never said two words to each other until graduation. After graduation party/dance, I had a breakfast for a few couples at my house. My dad was having breakfast with us and in walks David Plantz and Melvin Riggins. I thought my dad was going to choke on his eggs. He could not believe that Melvin Riggins was having breakfast with him, at his table! Melvin Riggins was tickled by my dad's reaction. He made my dads year.
