Coach Paul Dorsey was the man,in 1974 we had à bunch of kids with many different personalities.He molded us into a team and had us thinking we were unbeatable .I played second base on that team and attended a reunion with the guys on the team a couple of years ago and spoke to him.I told him all my school years he was the one teacher that had really made an impression on me as a student and player.I told him my hat goes off to him as I had started coaching high school in Easton ma,and it is not an easy job.Rest in Peace Coach Dorsey.My prayers are with the family.
Paul was a well-liked, loyal member of the Milton High School Class of 1951. Condolences to all his family. He will be missed.
