Hi all,

I don't post much, and I believe that this is the first topic I've started on this board, but this man has refereed many of my personal matches and many of the matches for the team that I assist with. He always addresses the teams before competition with encouraging words and he often sings the National Anthem while saluting the flag before matches.

I talked with him for a bit a few years ago after a baseball game and he told me that his wrestling experiences helped to keep him alive in Viet Nam. He talked of the discipline of weight management and hunger seemed to effect his men, he was used to it and was able to keep working. I just came across this on "wrestling twitter" and thought I'd pass it along.
