Happy 65th Birthday Coach!
Did a little research and found out some cool facts about your birthday year. Here are some things that happened the year you were born:
The Basketball Association of America (BAA) was founded. Merged with the National Basketball league (NBL) in 1949 which then formed the NBA. *Probably why you all love Basketball so darn much!
On July 5th of that year, Bikinis go on sale for the first time in Paris. They would make their way to America soon after. *We ALL thank you for that!
The San Fransisco 49ers are formed.
On May 2nd of that year 6 inmates try to escape Alcatraz...they fail. Riots begin in the prison. The events of that day are known as "The Battle of Alcatraz".
On December 20th of that year, one of our family's favorite Christmas movies "It's a Wonderful Life" is released in New York.
On December 31st, President Harry Truman delivers Proclamation 2714 officially ending hostilities in World War II.
January 10th of that year the first meeting of the United Nations is held in London.
January 10th of that year is also important because "Project Diana" bounces radar waves off the moon proving that communication is possible between Earth and outer space. This in turn opens the space age.
Here are some people born that year:
January 19th (my birthday): Dolly Parton
May 18th: Reggie Jackson
May 19th: Andre the Giant
May 20th: Cher
June 14th: Donald Trump (People with comb overs rejoice!)

July 13th: Cheech Marin
July 15th: Linda Ronstadt
July 22nd: Danny Glover
September 15th: Tommy Lee Jones

and many many others!
Happy Birthday COOOOOAAACHHHH!
PS: A very wise man (or kid) once said: "I don't care if there is cloud to ground lightning....or that its raining...hailing...or there are tornado warnings out right now! You get our Giants together and LETS GO TO KALISPELL PARK FOR PRACTICE! I gotta swing Ol' Blue! Anyone who does not show up is Bush League and probably just stands at the plate while the ball goes by anyhow!"
Those memories will last forever.
Love you. God Bless You guys and keep you. May the wind be at your back at all times, well for the most part, because lets face it...if you are tossing the frisbee around...you would rather have a gentle breeze at your front...makes the disc go further...but at all other times..at your back!
