He was not gifted with athletic ability, but I will never forget GYM class.
This day we had to climb the dreaded rope all the way to the rafter. Hand over hand with leg assist. Brain struggled with this but with the cheeering from us all He made it to the top.
However, He was so tired that He didn't have the strength to hand over hand and with locked legs slide down, so He slid down with his hands only. HIs hands were burnt and the flesh on his hand peeled off. He was taken to the Hospital. It was a brave act and something He had to prove to us all.
He was the "Man" after all and I never forgot the lesson that it I learned. Anyone know how He died?
