Today we got news regarding two people who I see as Giants who have Made a Difference. First Pat Head Summitt stepped down as Head Coach of the Tennessee Women's Basketball program after 38 years and 1098 victories including 8 National Championships. Then I just heard that Dick Clark who greets us every New Years has passed at 82 of a heart attack. Dick had recovered from a stroke to return to his spot only a few years ago.
Pat Summitt is a mentor among coaches. She not only raised Tenneseee to the top but raised the bar so more colleges would give women the same opportunities men have gotten over the years. She has written books regarding motivation & inspiration. When she was diagnosed with Dementia & Alzheimers she immediately developed a foundation to help educate & raise money for research. She will leave a legasy of compassion, knowledge, & understanding.
Dick Clark of American Bandstand Fame introduced us babyboomers to Rock N Roll. It's got a beat & I like to dance to it. Give it an 8. Then he hosted Rock N New Year's Eve for Years ringing in the New Year. Even after his stroke, he battled back to get back to his spot. He Showed courage & determination and was an inspiration for us all. I am really sad to hear of his passing but he will be remembered for years to come. Dick Clark & Rock N Roll go hand in hand.
Two Giants....Who Made a Difference. Have You?
