Coach Manon

Posted by: Dona in people

pp8t7642ci.jpgI’d heard great things about Andrew’s wrestling coach before Andrew was on the team. Then this summer Andrew received a wonderful & personal letter from him welcoming Andrew to the team. Andrew, Dean and I have all received emails from the coach on various matters, all of which have been delightful to read - both in content and form.

Yesterday the coach proved, once again, what a fine role model he is in an interaction with Andrew after an upsetting loss.  I’m not going into details, they are private, but Derek Manon is one heck of a wrestling coach on a number of levels.

    [...] It reinforces my point about Derek Manon being such a great coach and mentor. [...]

    For less than $15,000 USD at least one person has made sure to be protected from vampires by purchasing an authentic eighteenth century vampire killing kit. And here I thought silver bullets were just for werewolves… (0)

    What's up with the weather?
    It’s the middle of November for heaven sakes and we have a tornado watch in effect. It’s nearly 70 degrees outside and as humid as the Amazonia exhibit at the National Zoo. It’s either global warming or our second Indian Summer. (1)
