Re: UFH: Gary Dillard
Congrats Gary Dillard! I was proud to know who you were right when I met you at UCF. I was even more proud when you knew who I was before I introduced myself. You have a great bunch of students and one of my absolute favorite teams. Great teams derive from great mentors. Congratulations again.
Edit: I just recalled my first memory of Gary Dillard before I actually knew who he was... I was in the stands at the 2004 Championship event hanging out with some of my SPAM buddies. They had just won their match and I was laughing at my friends who were doing the peculiar SPAM cheer. As I turned around and looked up I noticed the parents and the mentors (Mr. Dillard was right behind me) were also singing and kicking their legs up as well. Now THAT is a spirited bunch! I was stunned, my team (1390 after their rookie year) complained about having hats with ears attached to them, and here SPAM had students constantly cheering and singing. I loved the atmosphere and vowed to do what I could to try to make whatever team I became a part of more like SPAM.
