Dear Patti,
Thank you for your kind words.
Jimmy Valvano was the basketball coach at North Carolina State University - my home state.
His team won the NCAA basketball championship - was one of the great wins of all time as they were the underdogs. This is a link to one of the most inspiration speeches I have ever heard - shortly before he passed away. I'm posting it for you - and anyone else that needs a boost. He was Italian through and through.
