So in a semi-football related, feel good kind of story, Michigan fans esp may enjoy, two weeks ago on Saturday my uncle had a stroke. I emailed Mike Barwis, RRod's former S&C coach, asking if he would write a letter to my aunt and uncle to sort of give them inspiration/motivation to get thru this. If you guys didnt see the story about Brock Mealer, he was paralyzed in a car crash and Barwis helped him walk again so I know he is good w/ this sort of thing. So a week goes by and I don't hear anything, he had the grand opening for a gym he opened up here in MI this past weekend so I thought he was prolly just busy w/ that. Well yesterday evening I get a response, multiple actually and he sounds absolutely thrilled to help. He's asking what size t-shirt they wear and where can he send a package to. I sit down last night to reply and give him the info, he sends me another email around 10:30 while I'm typing my reply to see if I had received his previous emails.
Just thought I'd share. I know Mike isn't working for a college anymore but I know people think highly of him in his profession. He told me he helped rehab a stroke victim who had brain cancer and brain surgery while he was rehabbing Brock.
