I think I shared this before but here it is again. In high school the coach/gym teacher had a daughter who was in my class. She was kinda cute. He was this polish guy who was built like a fire plug and was about as tough. He took NO sh..tuff.
His daughter shot on the rifle team. They had a range under the stand in the gym. Turns out she was really good and won state title. So that family was a twofer — Daddy could seriously kick your ass and the daughter could shoot your ass. I don’t think she ever had a date with any guy in the school. --R Sent from iPhone > On Dec 11, 2017, at 8:46 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > We have several sporting clay teams at our local high schools that both > practice and compete at the range I belong to.
