The dedication to victory …

And the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we

Can to make the world a better place in which to live.

Himself but who needs a partner to open a window or

Push aside a roadblock.

Profession, He will develop from year to year.

Intelligent handling of men, a sound system of play, 

And the ability to instill in the boys a desire to win.

We’re coming at it a different way.

That, for me, to be honest, is the fun part.
