SIGNED (PLUS!) "Michigan Memories" by Bo Schembechler

This is a unique item, sad in its reality but honorable in its intent. Read on....
"Michigan Memories: Inside Bo Schembechler's Football Scrapbook" by Bo Schembechler.
This is an unread First Edition that has been SIGNED and Inscribed by the "Ole Coach" on the front free Endpaper.

*** The book has been Inscribed:
"Lt. A. J. Barbosa GO BLUE!" and dated "11-1-98"

Lt. Barbosa died just 8 days later in a Helicopter crash in service to his country.
Included is a letter to Lt. Barbosa from his father dated 11/5/98:
"Dear Son, It was great to hear from you! Sorry we cannot spend Christmas together.
"Son, find enclosed, a copy of 'Mich Memories'. We had Bo personalize the book. Love you Son, Dad"

Sadly, this never reached his Son Lt. A. J. Barbosa, as his life came to an end only 4 days later.
