George Halas, longtime player and coach with the Chicago Bears football team, once said, “What makes a good coach? Complete dedication.” This is an apt description of Terry Henigan who molded the lives of so many young people during his 41 years as a football coach, athletic director and assistant basketball, baseball, and golf coach. In October 2014, Terry was voted into the Hall of Fame of the California Interstate Scholastic Federation Southern Section. This award tops off a long list of other accomplishments and awards including the CIF Champions of Character Award in 2006. Terry said that he is most proud of the Champions of Character Award and it definitely speaks volumes about his teaching style, coaching principles, and guiding philosophy.

He was focused on teaching these players to compete to the best of their abilities,

He told his students, “If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.” Terry’s father, uncle, and older brother were coaches who greatly influenced his own development. But of everyone in his life, Terry is most proud of Francine, his wife of 48 years. She was his biggest asset in those days when Terry’s work took most of his time.

SCSH Triumphs at Senior International at Senior Games Triumphs SCSH B Standing on the Corner BY JIM HOLLADAY

Having a pet in my household has been fairly common during my lifetime. I have had animal friends of various descriptions, but of course the most consistent one has been a dog, as it is in most households. I have had various breeds, both large and small. I have had some that largely lived outside and were primarily working dogs, and others who were inside dwellers and more aptly were pets. It is unfair for me to say which has been my favorite except that my current one — a tri-color Papillon named Mitzi — stands out for many reasons. She is by far the smartest and smallest (just eight pounds) and the cutest of the lot, along with a magnetic personality.

Recently, an interesting event occurred that I can only attribute to the magnetic powers of my little girl. We were taking one of our regular walks and were standing on the corner waiting for traffic to clear before crossing. All of a sudden, from around the corner, came a shiny red Mercedes convertible with the top down, an extremely attractive blond at the wheel. My immediate When Mitzi became a member of my household, I was thought was that she needed directions or something of single; and so her role was not only as a pet but more the sort.

As soon as I could speak and think, I replied, “This is pretty sudden and extremely interesting. I think I am open to what you have said, but there are an awful lot of other things to consider. Why don’t we take things a little slower? Perhaps we can go to dinner one night soon and see where that takes us. I am very interested — I just think we should take a little time.” Her smile disappeared. She sat up in her seat and acted as if she had been insulted. Then, with a little snicker, she shook her head and yelled, “You fool, I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to that cute little Papillon beside you.” With a roar, she drove on down the street. Well, we went home. I opened a can of soup and fixed some dog food for Mitzi, and she reluctantly took a few bites. I sat on the couch and called to her to come sit on my lap.
