Things to thankful for: Coach Gagliardi
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/20/sp...h-retires.html
My nephew Bennet is 44 or so these days. He is a high school physics teacher in Illinois and coaches football. He played football at St. Johns and he has told me more than once that his Coach, John Gagliardi was the single greatest influence in his life. I don't really know anything about Coach Gagliardi besides that, and what's in the news today. But the Coach has announced his retirement after 64 years (60 at St. Johns) and it appears indisputable that he is the genuine article and a genuine treasure. I am as genuinely thankful for those who devout there lives to teaching discipline and character as I am for almost anything else I can think of. My humble thanks to all those wonderful teachers who inspire our young and preserve hope in our futures. Great Job coach. Thanks. Cheers, BostonTim |
