100 Posts
From 9-10-14
Today is the 100th consecutive day since we began sharing stories about the 126 varsity teams that I coached! When we first started, we weren't very knowledgable about posting on Facebook, & some of our posts took several hours, due to our inexperience.
We have since found how to link various things to pertinent stories, & we would encourage you to go back & recheck to see if we have been able to add something that interested you. It is with mixed emotions that we end our "posts", but there is more material on our website (www.coachronaldbradley.com), & there is probably more there than you will be able to digest. We are thankful to Bill, Brad, Bob & Brenda for making our website available to interested people. Bill is the "webmaster" and has been able to do amazing things with this site! He continues to update almost daily, & we encourage you to send any pictures or articles you think might be useful. (I might add, what a joy it was to coach all three of our sons, & have Brenda work with our teams as a statistician!) I was fortunate to have had a great (& fun) coaching career, & we have memories that will last a lifetime! I remember in college, we had a teacher who taught aspiring coaches, and said on several occasions, "If you break even, you'll be a success!" I guess I won't ever break even, as Brian Knapp, a sports reporter, has written that my varsity basketball teams could go 0-30 for 30 years & still have a winning record! Bill has posted over 300 letters on our website from many of you, (and they never fail to make us feel that our time & efforts were well-spent!). One only has to read three letters from people such as Erin Peitso (one of our former managers & is now an executive), former player Tony Harris (former teacher/coach & businessman), & Felton Hudson (who, as a student, saw our first varsity basketball game & followed our entire careers)---to get a sampling of the contents of all the other letters which are on the website.
As we close out our posts on our various teams, we are listing several links to sites which might be of interest. Our next post will probably be our last, as we celebrate our 60th year of marriage on September 11, 2014! -
