Dear Mike:
It was with a great deal of interest and much admiration that I read the recent
News & Record article regarding your induction into the National Wrestling Hall
of Fame. This is a wonderful and fitting tribute to one who has devoted so much
of his life to the sport.
Yours is a prime example of an educator trying to fínd a special niche for each
student, regardless of physique or capability. As you can personally attest, a
teacher can oftentimes make a lasting impression upon the direction a young
person may take with his life. You have given support and confidence to many
youngsters and they trust you as an interested and caring friend.
My personal congratulations on your induction into the Hall of Fame, and I trust
that you and your family will have a great trip to Oklahoma on December 14.
You have been a good and faíthful public servant to hundreds of young people
and their famílies. We are pleased and quite proud that you will be recognized
and honored nationally.
A happy Holiday Season to you and your family.
Rgspectfully,
lr'li

exceeded by the tremendous contributions you made to the personal development of so
many young men. By the way, Wally Burke will never be in your league or to put it in
wrestling vernacular, he can't even hold your jock strap (I probably shouldn't have said
that)!
Mike, I should also say that you continue to set a high standard. For, as the farther of
two young boys, I was not surprised, but I was struck by the enoñnous sense of pride that
was so clearly evident with Chip, Kurt and Ker'ry at the induction ceremony. We are ali
very proud of you and I can only hope my boys will, one day, view rne in the same light'
In today's world that is a tremendous accomplishment.
Again, I carry anlarge debt of gratitude and am proud to have wrestled for you. I wiil
look forward to the day we can spend time together again and to introducing my wife and
our boys. I thank you and congratulate you on your induction into the National Wrestling
Hall of Fame---it is indeed anawardthat is well deserved!
Very Truly Yours

Dear Mike:
Over the yeaxs, I must have considered the appropriate content of this letter at least a
hundred times-not uncommonly during the course
flying in and out of various
airports throughout the United States. With all that preparation, I certainly hope this
letter adequately conveys that which is in my heart.
of
Mike, I realized long ago that I am very much indebted to you. I suspect more than
you know. Your impact on me occurring during what was obviously a formative period,
but also a pivotal or defining point as well. As I reflect back on my high school years, I
could have easily deveioped personally in a manner that would have been detrimental to
the pursuit of a productive and rewarding life. Through the sport of wrestling, you
coached, mentored, and occasionally gave me an appropriate kick in the butt along with
tons of support and confidence. The totality of those experiences were instrumental in
defrning my character and in the development of the person I am today. I learned many
things, not the least of which was essentially a primer on how to succeed in life. Those
were great lessons to have learned atttøt stage of life and they have served me well. For
all that I learned and gained from you, I am indebted and very appreciative.
My years at Ragsdale were memorable and exciting. Our teams achieved great
things. I will always remember our pre+natch conversations. You were masterful at
it.
reading my psychological state and knew just exactly what to say and how to say
I
recall very clearly a particulæ dual match which caused me to be unusually jittery (not to
say that I was not usually jittery) and you told me just prior to walking on the mat, "Bill,
just keep it simple".' V/ith those words, all doubt was erased and I was fi.lled with
confidence. Without saying it overtly, you communicated thatyau believed I could win
that match, and that day it made a big difference. It goes without saying, you axe truly a
great coach!
With regard to this letter, I have obviously struggled with it over the years; for no
matter how well written or impassioned, it hardly seemed adequate thanks or recognition
for contributions you had personally made to me. However, with your induction into the
National Wrestling Hall of Fame, your contributions, to me and many others, have now
been more appropriately recognized. Being a part of the induction ceremony was very
meaningful for me. Tim Edwards, Jeff Curtis and I sat together at dinner that night and
relished in your recognition. Your performance record is truly outstanding, but it is surely
