Intro
I retired from teaching at Meadville Middle School in PA in 2024, and from Meadville HS Swimming in 2025. Below are photos from a surprise farewell given by swimmers and families past and present (I'm in the black T-shirt). My oldest son and I are now in Barnhart, MO, near my youngest son, daughter-in-law, and three-year-old twin grandchildren. While researching my next coaching opportunity, I was excited to see there is a Meadville in MO. . . 232 miles away. 🫤
