Billy Graham: “A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime.” This was my high school football coach Jimmy Montgomery who passed away on Wednesday. I was intimidated by him as a player,however, I always wanted to please him. RIP.

My Uncle, Henry James Kyzer wore these dog tags when he landed on Omaha Beach 80 years ago today. He survived the war, so did my other Uncle Wheeler B. Leeth, who jumped with the Army’s 508th Parachute Infantry Division, in the early morning hours of D-Day June 6, 1944.
You know why the “British” don’t pronounce their “T’s”? …Because we threw it in the harbor! 🇺🇸haha.
Nevertheless, me and my family had a good time visiting London the past few days. :)
Enjoyed watching Giacomo Antonicello play yesterday for Rutgers University-Camden. A fine young man and good baseball player! Haven’t seen him in a while, so it was extra special! @rucbase
