Former Los Gatos HS Football Coach Dies After 30 Year Battle with ALS

I have to admitted, there are days that I'm just so angry at the way things are going, that I just want to go hide and not return for several days!

Then I come across a story like the one of former Los Gatos head football coach Charlie Wedemeyer, who passed away Thursday after a 30-year battle with Lou Gehrig's Disease.

I guess I really don't have to say much more than enjoy the well written article by Mark Purdy of the Mercury News, who tells the story of a man, who certainly should make all of us realize how lucky we are ...and there should never be days to go and hide.
