Lucas: â??UW familyâ?? special to Davis

University of Wisconsin wrestling coach Barry Davis got some sobering news while riding the team bus to the NCAA championships in Omaha, Neb., last week.

….â??I got a call on the way down to Omaha from the Johnson County (Iowa) Sheriffâ??s Department,â? Davis said. â??They found my brotherâ??s helmet. That was between me and them. I kept it to myself, and I focused on the team and moved forward.â?

Davisâ?? brother, Marty Davis, 52, who lives north of Shueyville, Iowa â?? midway between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City in Johnson County â?? has been missing since Jan. 3 when he left home on his snowmobile.
