Paul Wallace

[edit]

Paul Wallace was my uncle, my father’s younger brother, who I knew very well for over 50 years, but unfortunately, I never heard or saw any evidence that he ever played for a professional basketball team in Toledo, especially in the 1941-42 season when he would have just turned 16! He did play in Toledo, but only there years later for his college team, after his military service in WW II. If he did he play professionally at all, it might have been for teams assembled to "play" against the Harlem Globetrotters. Finally as the "Peach Basket Society" source referenced here itself notes, "it doesn't make sense" that 16-year-old Paul Wallace ever played professionally in Toledo.
