According to conversations I've had with him, he's looked at the board a couple of times a month ago, but not since the beginning of March. I don't know if he's done here, or if it is a temporary thing. He's not a dodgy fellow, and I know that he's been pretty tied up. His family, his extended family, his father's estate, and his work have pretty much boxed all of his time. He's a good friend...one of the best men I know, frankly. And he knows what the big rocks are in his life. He's not paying a lot of attention to the smaller rocks or the sand. And right now, to paraphrase his sentiments, this is sand. He likes a lot of the folks on here, but the stuff he can touch needs him more than the board does.
He might show back up from time to time, but by and large, the days of General Patton giving his two cents in search of a tank battle are done. Our personal conversations revolve a lot less around the Hilltop these days, what with children and trips and work and all. But I hope we can pick them up during spring practice. He thinks we need more D-linemen, by the way. But go figure...we all think that.
Oh...and he's had prayers for Coach Reinebold. He was really shocked by the news, and he asks me about him often. I just relay what I read.
