A man for all seasons
Eight weeks ago, I was disturbed by newspaper accounts of a hazing incident at a high school in Sandwich, Massachusetts, during which over-zealous senior football players injured a freshman before the start of a team practice.
I had just finished reading Season of Life (Simon & Schuster, 2003) by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Jeffrey Marx, in which he chronicles the influence former National Football League star Joe Ehrmann (now an ordained minister) has over the members of Maryland's Gilman High School football team, for whom he is a volunteer coach. And I couldn't help thinking, "That Sandwich hazing incident might never have happened had Coach Ehrmann been in charge."
