Congratulations go out to San Luis Obispo High School coach

It is with pleasure that I congratulate Rick Ernstrom in his award to the Hall of Fame at San Luis Obispo High School after more than 30 years as a coach.

You truly deserve it. All three of my boys played water polo and swam under your watchful eye.

My youngest son became ill with cancer when he was 15 1/2  years old. You asked your whole church (Grace Church) to pray for him, and they did. Their prayers and mine were answered, and I thank you. He is now a fire captain in the SLO Fire Department.

Mary MacDonald, San Luis Obispo
