“MY STORY” was originally intended to be a manuscript to be passed along to my children, grandchildren and any future generations. It was written to be a record of my early years and how, eventually, my love for athletics would turn into a lifelong profession and obsession. As I wrote, I realized that I was not only writing about my life, but I was also writing the partial athletic history of the five schools that had employed me. I decided to put the information into book form in hopes that past players, coaches, and fans would be able to read and relive so many of the events and games that they were involved in or observed. As you read this, I hope that you remember and enjoy. Each of you, whether you were mentioned or not mentioned in the narrative, played a big part in my life! Thank You! -Bob Lewis
