Smack, you have me summoning the depths of my memory. Much of the early and mid 40's I always relied on my Father, and my Uncle to tell me about because I didn't go to my first Redskin game until the 49-50 season. When we played that championship game against the Bears I was only four yrs. old.

My Father would always tell me about Ray Flaherty, and how great the Redskins were in the years immediately following the start of the war. Ray Flaherty then, was our Joe Gibbs now.

That's really good stuff though,and makes me think a long way back.
