\'He never demanded any limelight. I think now is when we\'ll realize what a great impact he had on Freeman, both as a coach and teacher.

He always would bring it up when I was having a bad day...to remind me of how awesome we were and still could be. I don\'t think he ever talked to me without bringing that up.\' -Julia Siegel, Douglas Freeman graduate of 2003
