when he was 3 years old. My son, Mark, cried when Koz hurt his knee in the Temple game in 1985. Every week after that, Mark kept asking me if Koz was going to play again. I told Mark I didn't know, but finally asked him if he wanted me to send a get-well card to Koz. He did, so I sent Koz a card with 2 pictures of Mark--one in his wheelchair, and one sitting in the corner of the couch. I explained in the card how Mark had cried when he got hurt and just wanted to know if Koz would play again. A couple of weeks later, Mark received and card from Koz, plus a picture of him. Mark was thrilled! Here is a link to "Deep Blue," where Koz talks about Mark:
