Billy Stubbs celebrates 97.
William “Billy” Stubbs of Bensley, celebrated his 97th birthday, Friday, Dec. 11. Billy always like to talk and bring up memories of his time at Benedictine High School. When time came for his daughters, Susan and Gwen, to think of the perfect gift for his birthday they wanted to give him a varsity jacket from Benedictine. “They did not have jackets for athletics in 1942,” Susan said. “He earned three letters and a trophy in 1942.” She added that Father Dan, then principal, gave him a game ball the team won against St. Christopher. “Father Dan gave it to him on the mound. He still has the picture of Father Dan on his office wall.” Happy Birthday Billy!
