On Wednesday night I returned to my old high school cafeteria to make a presentation to the Coronado High School Basketball program. During the summer of 2008, we lost a member of the 1998 varsity basketball team that I played on. Lester Newman was our starting point guard that year and a dear friend of all of ours long after our high school days. He was killed in a car/pedestrian accident. All of us from the 1998 team got together and presented two plaques and a donation in Lester's name to the booster club. Lester's parents and our coach, Barry Voss, were able to attend the event as well. It was a great evening in honor of Lester and the legacy he left Coronado High School. After the dinner, we walked down to the locker rooms and gym with Lester's parents to show them where the plaques would be mounted. It was definitely a walk down memory lane.
