Carlos Kirmayer from Brazil played at Modesto Junior College 1969 and 1970 before playing for San Jose State in 1971 and 1972.
I played on the 1971 team with him

This is the kind of trivia we're looking for!

Just trying to keep the thread on track with the OP.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alex Olmedo but had no knowledge of his Juco college days, good stuff.
