On the occasion of the U.S. Postal Service issuing its Forever stamp commemorating the late, legendary UCLA men's basketball coach, some 300 people turned out — including fans, former players, coaches, family members, post office officials and Chancellor Gene Block — to share memories of Wooden and to honor his legacy as sports icon and teacher whose homespun wisdom and life lessons have resonated far beyond the basketball court.
