Today we’d like to wish my Dad a VERY HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!!!! He is a great man who has taught me a lot these last 35 years. There were times he woke up way too early to drive up to Columbia for meetings and then to Beaufort (or worse, Hilton Head) to watch me play a baseball game, then he would drive home and wait for me to get there so we could talk about the game… then he’d wake up way too early the next day to head back up to Columbia. That’s not normal. Last week you saw what I had to say about Coach Hatley and the impact he has had on my life… What went unsaid at that time was that Coach Hatley couldn’t have had that impact without Dad. Why? Because Dad didn’t sit at home bad-mouthing Coach Hatley. Dad didn’t second guess him (or, if he did, he didn’t do it in front of me). So Thank You, Dad… and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I love you. Oh, and I hope all of you other dads have a great day…
