• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I taught Middle school/Junior high Language Arts/English for 15 years, most of those in Marble Falls, Texas.
I also coached football, basketball and track. I had a skinny little kid come out for track and coached him during his 7th and 8th grade years.
He was a natural at middle and long distances. I just watched him win a SILVER MEDAL at the Olympics ( Leo Manzano ).
I cried tonite........the first time in ages. Glad the old lady had already gone to bed.......

Congrats to your student Luckydog! That must have been a thrill to watch.

On another note, I didn't realize that you taught in Marble Falls. While returning to Fort Hood from Camp Bullis in the fall of 1972, I drove through Marble Falls. A tornado had leveled the town a few days before my drive through that nice little town. The destruction looked complete. It was a sight I shall never forget.
 
Congratulations Luckydog! Like you I have coaches a lot of youngsters, its alwyas nice to see that they have done something with your lessons. But I definitely envy you, as not of my pupils even managed to qualify for anything close to a regional championship.

Cheers,
Huub
