Happy Birthday, Maestro!

My assistant coach, Michael, better known as “The Maestro”, celebrated his 70th birthday this week. We surprised him this evening after practice with a party in his honor in the library. He is at once the gruffest, grumpiest, most cantankerous guy, with the biggest heart this side of everywhere. He can bark like a vicious dog, then turn around and hug the same kid. The kids love him, and we’re lucky to have him. Happy birthday, Maestro.
