James Spivey and June Stewart reunite at a class reunion in this undated photograph, courtesy of Don Spivey. Both James and June played in historic basketball games on the same night in November 1959, at the Madison Square Garden. They are both Bray-Doyle graduates from the early 1950s. That historic game was between the United States and Soviet Union.
