Remembering Carl Axup

A former coach and teacher of mine passed away last week. It's really too bad. He was a very strict but damn good coach. I'll always remember the little things. Making us middle school kids do 360 pushups and sit ups in a day. Running with us over six miles in an afternoon. The Personal Records we would get were rewarded with a snikers bar that was frozen (before they started making the ice cream snickers bar or whatever). I just hope that Lenie (his wife) is doing well. She's also a teacher in our district working at one of the new elementary schools in town.
