  1. You are right. I reached for a napkin here on my desk.
    I clealry remember a regional track meet where my son ran. There was one of his team mates who had the meet of his life–qualifying for State in 3 events when his coach thought he might have a chance in one–but there was no one there for the kid. A couple of us who didn’t really know him cheered & he appreciated it, but how much more than young man’s day could have meant to him.
