Politics today is nasty business. There are many good people serving our City
and some who put themselves first, truthfully, one would have to be crazy to
run for City politics today. Let’s just
stick with City politics, the babble that is spread around with no facts hurts
candidates and even family members, some bloggers even go so far as to have
minions follow families of candidates and
the candidates themselves then report what the perceive to be facts
while they are only looking through binoculars and taking pictures.
This article however is about one of the good guys, who as
far as I know wasn’t involved in politics, although if he was, it would be with
the class and dignity which I heard is the way he lived his life. The article is in today’s Saratogian, if you
want to read it.
I never knew the man personally but those who did had high
praise for him both as a teacher and coach.
He ended his coaching career from complications due to ALS and coached
right up until the end. He coached golf
at Saratoga Catholic whose teams are nicknamed the Saints and it sure seems to
me that Mike Benson will have a long term as one of God’s coaches.
