| Gov. Tim Walz |
Maybe you remember someone from your days past who helped you become the person you are today.
I sure do.
They were high school and college teachers and friends. And, certainly, my parents, who helped me through tough times and hard choices.
Among them were three coaches. Coach Toth who introduced me to soccer. He was a Hungarian Olympian refugee. Coach Gillespie, who coached us through junior high and into high school. Then, against all odds, directed creation of our non-approved high school soccer league. Finally, track and cross-country coach Auten helped me overcome a sandlot football concussion that nearly sidelined all my aspirations.
I remember their kindness, support and words of encouragement.
They were and are my heroes because they were living proof that I could overcome my self-limitations and reach my goals.
I see and hear them when Coach… Gov. Tim Walz speaks.
I’m voting for him this November.
