An Unexpected Honor
It happened on May 1, 2011 on Sunday afternoon with about seventy-five
friends, former kickers and families of former kickers, coaches, my
family, and other friends from the church and community. The Thomasville
Athletic Boosters Club, the Thomasville Athletic Department and others
from the community had made the arrangements. They had raised enough
money to replace the old original post and add one at the other end of
the field. This field is not only used for football practice and track
and field, but soccer is also played there. It is probably one of the
best facilities of its kind around. This facility was named "The Allen
Brown Athletic Complex" in honor of retired football coach Allen Brown.
So having the goal posts dedicated to me on that Sunday afternoon was a
great honor.
There were several speakers who said some very complimentary things,
pointing out the two beautiful new goal posts that were being dedicated
to me. Then my attention was called to a plaque that was placed on the
wall of the Allen Brown athletic Complex.
I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful things said and the honor I
received. I was also amazed at the number of friends who were there to
share this moment with me. I really didn't think I deserved this much
adulation. As I told them, I have enjoyed it so much because of all the
rewards received in seeing these young men progress and become
successful in their journey through life.
