She called me because they were going to be out of town during the funeral. I recognized the name immediately. She told me we weren't alone.

She could do things on beam that I had no name for. As a third-year coach, I had visions of grandeur, thoughts of state championships dancing before me. I couldn't wait to work with someone at that level.

She has always been my role model in gymnastics, and every time at practice when she was doing some tumbling or something, I was always afraid she was going to get hurt again. Because of what she went through (an ACL injury, to name one), I think it makes me try extra hard. A lot of what I was doing was for her.

She does every little thing well. She's a great defender, she's a great passer, she scores well... you name it and she does it. Her whole game is solid.

My life? It isn't easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed with the gophers. I suppose it has most resembled the blue chip stock; fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy and I've learned that not everyone can say this about their lives. But do not be misled. I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but I have loved someone with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

They are nicely adapted machines for experimenting on the question, ''Into how little space a human being can be crushed?''

A woman who has been for many years at one of those places carries the mark of the beast on her till she dies.

Their faces really light up when they talk about him. That's very gratifying for me, and helps me remember him as well.
