Dedication

Eric has always enjoyed helping his coaches. For the past few years, we have gone early and helped Ms. Jeanne and Coach Keith put in the final lane rope. This particular rope needs someone to be in the water to put it in. Ms. Jeanne retired and was no longer going to be there to help put the lane lines in. Eric and I committed to go every morning 35 minutes before practice and help Coach Keith put them in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When he was finished, he would have breakfast and read a book.  Breakfast was usually cottage cheese and pistachios or a granola bar.  

 

 

 

 

 

Not one time all summer did he complain about putting them in.  He loved doing this job.  He was tired in the mornings, but he still wanted to help.  We did not miss a single morning all summer.  One morning he wasn't going to swim, but we still showed up to do the lane ropes first.  Love his dedication!
