Dear Michael,
It was so good to see you again. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in inviting me to Longview.
Probably the best ten years of my coaching career were spent there. It really doesn't seem like thirty years have passed since you played for the Rams. As I wrote your parents, the bottom line in coaching is not the victories on the floor but comes in seeing young people mature and fill their roles in society.
You have done both of these in such a successful manner. Your family and entire community can take great pride
in your accomplishments.
Thanks for allowing me to share in that pride for a few moments last Monday.
Sincerely,
Coach
