[QUOTE="Stinger90, post: 520429, member: 302"] [FONT=Crimson Text][COLOR=rgb(35, 35, 35)][B]Gratitude for Georgia Tech football coach[/B] I would like to commend Coach Paul Johnson for his many years of mentoring young men. He has been a very successful coach at Georgia Southern, Navy and Georgia Tech. As Coach Johnson takes his departure from Georgia Tech, coaching his last game today, I will tell a story of why Coach Johnson is special to my family. My mother-in-law and father-in-law, Pat and John Huskisson, were very loyal Georgia Tech fans. Their den was decorated with Tech memorabilia. They would watch any Tech sporting event that was on TV. During Tech football games, they would take the phone off the hook so as not to be disturbed while watching. Nothing was more important to them than Georgia Tech. In 2010, at the age of 86, John’s health started declining. I thought that I would try to have Coach Johnson call my father-in-law and wish him the best. On a Tuesday, I called a friend in administration at Georgia Tech to see what could be done. That same morning, John got a call from Coach Johnson. They carried on a great conversation and Coach Johnson wished John well. The following Saturday, our family had dinner together for the last time. John died a happy man on Sunday. Sometimes coaching college is not just about winning every game. It is also about helping others and being an example. Thank you Coach Paul Johnson.
