Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3177219, member: 1526"] Calhoun needs coaching just as much as he needs air, food and water to survive. It gives him something to look forward to, and live for. He's a basketball coach, through and through. I was once working at a county courthouse in a small population county researching land records. Sometimes small counties close their County Clerk offices on election days because the staff are working on the election and can't do both jobs. The clerk's office was closed on Tuesday, so rather than the day being unproductive, I went over to the local title company which had an abstract plant. I worked all day there. The manager was an 88 year old woman. She was a wonderful lady, and as sharp as any 88 year old person I've ever met. I could name a family I was researching and off the top of her head she could remember the names of their ancestors and how they were related to the people I was researching. She had been the County Clerk and was forced to retire at age 65 due to mandatory civil service retirement rules. She told me she sat at home for a week and realized she'd be dead within a year without something to do. She got the job at the title co. and had been there ever since. Calhoun is one of those people. Here's hoping he lives to age 88 and beyond doing the job he was born to do. [/QUOTE]
