Unread postby KYLE ELLIS » Thu May 12, 2005 11:49 pm

ive been to abilene my last two meets and while i only cleared my opening bars ugly i met two great coaches. i met earl bell and don hood and ive never talked to friendlier people. Most coaches dont really like to talk and are all up tight, these two guys were awesome people and fun to be around.

You have found two of the absolute best! It is easy to sit back and throw stones from the peanut gallery, but those guys have been in the trenches getting it done for thirty plus years.
