E-mailing John Wooden

As readers know, this last week has been spent explaining John Wooden to those of us too young to remember him. As part of Hidden Blog's ongoing crusade, I found his official web site:

http://coachwooden.com/

So I sent him an e-mail:

"Coach, my dad coached basketball for 20 years before passing away from cancer. In going through his things, I came across a couple of your books that he'd learned from. Last year, I tried my hand at coaching middle school boys at the local YMCA. I bought your book Wooden on Leadership, and have been quoting it often at my personal blog: http://joemcdonald.blogspot.com/ Thanks for your ongoing inspiration!"

Did you notice... the site is sponsored by McDonald's?
