An evening with UNC's oldest living basketball alumnus
Posted Nov 7, 2014
Bob Gersten, the oldest living UNC basketball and baseball alum, looked back at Libbie, his wife of 70 years, as Frank Sinatra graciously gave way to the soft clatter of silverware on china, unfolded a well-worn stack of papers and began to speak. The family was in town to celebrate the 70th wedding anniversary of the nonagenarians — Bob is 94, two years older than his bride. (THT Note: Gersten YouTube Interviews 1 2)
