Cross Country Journal

A Parent Honors Coaches with Help from Herb Parsons

By Knowles Dougherty, Publisher of the CCJ

A couple of months ago, IDEA, Inc., (publishers of the CCJ) received an order from Andrea Lyden of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. She wanted five posters using the Herb Parsons image R-22 — shown on page one of this issue of the Journal. And she wanted the poster to say "What Makes a Good Coach?" and "Complete Dedication" across the top and "Trinity Shamrocks Cross Country 2010" across the bottom.

In order to be sure we (here at IDEA, Inc.) understood exactly what Andrea wanted. several email messages went back and forth until it was clear that her intention was to have all the Trinity runners sign the posters and then have them ready to present to their coaches at the annual awards banquet.

We thought this was a great idea and asked Andrea to send us photos of the finished poster and of the event. Sure enough. just the other day we received another email message from her with photos attached, see below.
