John's Story

Following my enlightened years as a Cavalier, I embarked on a life of having as much fun as possible. Determining that this life would not pay the bills someday, I decided to further my education. Due to my coaching some very successful youth basketball teams at Bethlehem Lutheran, I was led to a career of teaching and coaching. I began my educational pursuits at Delta College, where I was actually a member of the basketball team. Following my graduation from CMU in 75, I coached basketball around Saginaw, including 8th grade and Freshmen at CHS. In 1979 I accepted a teaching position at Sandusky High school(the one in the thumb). I was also hired as the Varsity basketball coach. After one year in Sandusky, my first wife divorsed me. Didn't like the thumb I guess. I coached the Redskin basketball progranm for 17 years, ending as the schools all-time winningest coach in the sport. In 1981 I married my current wife Suzanne. She kept me, at least to this point. I have two children that claim to be mine. Both are grown and married. Julie (29) was a 1st team All-State basketball player and played college ball in West Virginia where she met her husband. They now live in Atlanta, Ga. This is where I will probab...Expand for more
ly spend most of my winters, because I hate freakin snow and cold. My son Paul (26) was all-around athlete at Sandusky and played a little college golf. I am very proud of him as a Navy rerservist who has spent two tours in the middle east. He too is married and lives in Armada, Mi. Along with these beautiful kids, I am also very close to my step son Jim from my first encounter with wedded bliss. I also have many former players and students who I considered adopted. I taught high school history, health and physical education. The past 12 years I taaught elementary phys. ed. I have coached the golf and tennis teams for many years. This past summer(2011) I took a buy out from the school and retired for education at the age of 60. Ah retirement. What the hell do you do now they say?? Other than playing a great deal of golf (I live on Sandusky's course) and tennis I am trying to revert back to my post high school years of having much fun. Well not all the way back, because that would kill me. We also like to travel. Probably gonna have to get a job to do that though. So send me a note and tell me how you are doing. I do get back to Saginaw often to visit family. PEACE, LOVE and HAPPINESS to you always.
