Message: [QUOTE="bevosu, post: 1472374, member: 46"] I told this coach Mac story a few years back on the old site... I was driving back to Syracuse on Rt 81 after a business trip to Montreal and Ottawa. I'm up around Watertown and I turn the radio on and find the coach's radio show. Coach Mac takes a few calls and then a young (maybe 11-12) kid is on the phone. It was a little awkward because it was obvious that the boy had some unfortunate mental handicap. I was curious how coach Mac would handle the call. He was unreal...genuine, gracious, kind, never talked down in any way to the kid. He kept the boy on for at least 10 minutes and had a very engaging conversation. I'm sure he made the kid feel like a million. I was touched. Not many people could have handled something like that as smoothly and graciously. That convinced me that he's a great guy. [/QUOTE]
