COACH CALLAHAM!!
Coach Callaham will certainly be missed. I always will remember when he was my teacher at Maggie Walker (1986). I use to walk to the store down the street and get some snacks. I would always bring him a pack of Lance Chocolate Cookies back and he would say"Barner just because you are bringing me these chocolate cookes don't mean that I am going to pass you" I would say I know coach. He was a great teacher and a great indivual as well. He will certainly be missed.
