A Couple of My Heros Move Along

In the last couple of days Johnny Gibson and John Wooden passed away. Johnny was a local hero, Coach Wooden a national one. Both were complex men with seemingly simple philosophies and ideas that served them well. Both were gracious and caring and always put the spotlight on others. I keep a copy Coach Wooden's pyramid of success handy in my office and I will always cherish the times I sat in Johnny's chair to get my haircut. For these men there was a true intersect of life and sport and integrity was it's hinge.
