"Wave for Walter" scheduled at rivalry
game
The Cooper Booster Club is sponsoring a "Wave for Walter"
night Friday at the Abilene High-Cooper football game at Shotwell
Stadium.
Walter Ford, father of Cooper middle linebacker Coby Ford,
was paralyzed from his waist down in a car wreck last year coming
home from Cooper's playoff game with Amarillo Tascosa in Lubbock.
He has undergone several operations and needs another operation
to alleviate problems in his legs. The operation will be costly
and the Fords do not have insurance.
To offset the cost of the operation, the Cooper Booster Club
is sponsoring "Wave for Walter" night. Middle school
coaches from Clack, Jefferson and Madison will be giving out rally
rags underneath the home stands and asking for donations to offset
the cost of Walter's operation.l
All donations will be deposited in the Cooper Booster Club
account from which a check will be written to the Fords for the
operation. The booster club will also accept donations sent to
the Cooper Booster Club, P.O. Box 6182 Abilene 79608.
For more information, contact Cooper assistant football coach
Gary Griffin at 690-3475.
