Former Jacksboro
Coach Is Praised
High school coaches get
young men In their formative
years when they can do so
much to influence them. Many
of these coaches remain un-
praised.
Joe Suber, a former stu-
dent under the coaching of
Amos Turner, wrote a letter
recently, praising Mr.
Turner for the Influence he
bad on his life. Mr. Turner
was on the coaching staff of
Jacksboro High School in the
1940’s and 50’s.
In the letter Mr. Suber
states “I cannot express what
it meant for a man like that
to take an interest in me. I
was six feet tall, asthmatic,
flat-footed, couldn’t touch the
backOpard with a running start
and just as imortant, no man
ever showed that kind of in-
terest in me, since I had
never had a father figure.
For three years Coach
Turner designed exercise
programs that corrected my
flatfeet, put wieght on me,
increased my lung capacity
(which cured my asthma)
anc ’ uilt my strength."
With the help of Mr. Turner
he received a scholarship and
later received a degree rather
than becoming a hlghscbool
dropout.
