And all this time!

I have misspoken most of my life about this: Chuck Taylor All Stars shoes. I thought it was this Chuck Taylor, the Stanford football coach from 1951 to 1957.
My brother and I at football camp wearing Chuck Taylor "keds".
But NOOOOO!

Chuck Taylor was this guy. (If interested, check him out.) And this is what I am wearing in the picture . . . through high school basketball and beyond.


I apologize for the error. How was I to know before Wikipedia?
