Letter to the Editor: Former teacher/coach laments athletic project

To the Editor:

I believe this information is important, as my name was included in a pamphlet that was included with The Odessa Record. I was listed as a member of the Odessa Athletics Hall of Fame and that is not correct. An idea about a Hall of Fame came from me, but I was not able to go to meetings, so I was dropped as a voting member. I voted for the first ballot by telephone but that was my last vote. The Hall of Fame has taken a turn away from being for individual athletes as was my original intent. I regret I waited too long to attempt this project.

P.S. I am thankful that my first eight years as a teacher and coach was in Odessa!
