You're welcome, my friend.
jon, thanks for all this. I appreciate it.
So sad to hear the news today, that you had passed away. I dreamed of becoming a BRUIN one day, because you showed us all the way. To live your life with no regrets, to be your best is as good as it gets. To be a Champion within the lines, and outside a class act student athlete who always shines. I'll never forget that one lunch day in 2006 when at Apple Pan I would say, "Coach Wooden, will you allow me the honor of taking a picture with you this fine day?" Then you smiled back and graciously nodded your head, in the presence of GREATNESS I would find myself instead. RIP John R. Wooden, GREAT Coach, Husband, Father, Leader, Teacher, Champion, BB Player, Bruin, and the Human Being we ALL aspire to be. Born 1910 - Eternity!!!!
I was lucky to have been a student when the Coach was still courtside.
What a coach, what a human being.
From the picture...he was "cut" for a player in the 1920s!
Thanks, Jon, for your tribute to a TRUE role model for multiple generations.
