Question
Do you know where Reggie Lewis grew up as a child? I think it was Maryland, but I need to know for sure.

Answer
Dear Cal,

Reggie Lewis grew up in the Cecil-Kirk Housing Projects in Baltimore. Later, before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the next-to-last first round pick in 1987, he attended Dunbar High School and Northeastern University. He was born on November the 21st, 1965 and died tragically on July the 27th, 1993 while shooting basket at Brandeis University. On March 22, 1995, in a special halftime ceremony at Boston Garden, the Celtics canonized him retiring his #35 uniform. I hope this helps...
