Let’s take a look at sportsmanship in youth sports
The results are in. Being that I have been a certified sports official in two sports (ice hockey and lacrosse) for over the last 12 years and a member of the National Association of Sports Officials (NASO) during those years, I must say I was not surprised with those results. What am I talking about? […]

Several weeks ago I was officiating a men’s league hockey game in Carmel, IN.

“But eventually all of our graves go unattended.” This quote is attributed to Conan O’Brien after being dismissed from his dream job of hosting The Tonight Show for fewer than eight months.

I didn’t get to know them until the Fall of 2007. It was my first season helping coach the Franklin College Football Team and Anna and George Leonard were faithful fans pretty much attending every Franklin College football game. Of course, that was to be expected as their youngest son, Mike, was the Head Football […]

Let me begin by explaining who I am and why I am taking the time to write this letter to every member of Congress. I am an American citizen just days from my 71st birthday. I am a devout Christian (a white male if you care to know) who was raised by wonderful parents (my […]
