Yeah, Coach was cool for sure. I loved that man.

I hope to see him again one day wherever. Good times. I miss those times. I was so blessed as a young man .... Todd & Moore was the hangout for those guys back then. Cosch Loving and Coach Walsh, Coach Freeman ... sheeesh, incredible. I feel like Forest Gump sometimes. Even all the guys I had on my show over those years ... they're all gone now. All of them, Carlen, Dan Reeves, Coach Dietzel, Coach Bass, all gone.

Frank was the Dean though. I used to wheel Frankie around ... he just liked me for some reason. Coach McGuire, you're exactly right ... he would have loved Dawn and she would have loved him imho. I know her well enough ... she's not who most people think she is.

Coach McGuire gave me my MVP trophy for the YMCA basketball league. I'm kinda short and as he handed me the trophy he said " you must be tough". Him talking to me was more exciting than getting the award

Coach McGuire was also pretty progressive for those days. So in that regard they would have gotten along too but youre right Staley is incredibly nice in person. I really think she loves the area and community and I am happy to have her.

that said, can you start a thread where you just write stories from the people you talked to. You have knowledge and stories it sounds like that unfortunately won't be around unless you repeat them.
