I had a Coach Goddard sighting on Wednesday November 22nd at the Mama Mia's on the corner of Beech and Grand River.

He looked to be in good health and like he hadn't aged since the late 80's.

Is he still sporting the welcome back Kotter fro?

Dear Mr Kotta,
It is obvious to me that you did not spend your high school days participatiing in after school sports and/or achievements. NO real man would ever refer to Coach John Goddard as a sitcom character. He was and is a man than had instilled a lot of life's lessons in us. I am sorry you did not share this bond with us. You may have been picked on or not taken seriously, but I assure you the most of us have gotten over ourselves and our high school accomplishments.
So to the rest of you listening, I do say viva la Shes, Bless you Hoys, 86 football stats rule(even though I played in 88)and if anyone would like to shoot the **** over a couple beers, come on up to the Knights Of Columbus lounge located on 5 mile road between Beech and Telegraph on tuesday nights. I'll be there and some other alumni also.

Your sister was a better football player than you.

Mr. Kotta-
Yes- he still has the Welcome Back Kotter fro-
and I think Coach would laugh at that- one of the "life lessons" he taught us was to laugh!!! whoa back on the tude Crespi- whoever you are

Geez Guys, take it easy. Mr. Kotta and Vinnie Babarino, I meant no harm in saying the words I said. All I meant was that Coach meant a lot to a lot of people. He taught us how to be men, to be responsible and to help those less fortunate. So if you two ever need a job,give me a call. My company hires gays and illiterates all the time.

Thanks,

Dave--E.O.E
P.S. Scream upstairs and tell your parents I said "Happy New Year!"
