This blog is being used for a book we'll be giving to Dave the night of the party. This book will be a collection of well wishes, stories, tributes, etc from all his friends, former players, coaches. It's very simple - like signing a yearbook. You can be as creative or simple as you want. Don't be left out. If you want to be in Dave's yearbook, you need to post your note by MAY 14th! Just email patrickdugg@gmail.com with your contribution and we'll post it for you.

Terry O'Connor, Executive Director Cardinal Shehan Center

Congratulations Dave on your 30 years of coaching basketball.

From someone who has coached every level you can, it is my belief that you can have the greatest influence on the young
players you have on your teams.

They are in their formative years and your advice, counsel, discipline and love can go a long way in shaping their futures.

You also get to see many of them grow up before your very eyes and become productive citizens.

The memories you create as a team last a lifetime both in losing that close game to winning the Championship.

Sorry I will be away on vacation and miss your special night but my thoughts will be with you as you celebrate all the kids, the games and the memories.

John Wooden once said, "You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."

Coaches do this all the time!!!!!

Yours in coaching

Terry O'Connor
