Ellis “Buck” Shamburger passed yesterday. Buck played at Tech in the 50’s under Coach Dodd and was a founder of a club called “Dodd’s Boys.” He won a National Championship under Dodd as a backup QB. I met him at a 4th of July celebration at Newtown Park. I had on a Tech t-shirt, thankfully, and he inquired if I went to Tech. We struck up a conversation, traded phone numbers and became great friends. He attended my son’s high school lacrosse games, invited me to the Dodd’s Boys events and I visited him in his box at the BG game. His son Ellis “Bucky” Shamburger is also a Tech legend, playing football at Tech in the mid-70’s. A very sad day for the Tech family. Prayers up!
