When I began coaching soccer at Bremerton High School in 1999, Les used to come over and watch parts of my soccer practices. This is when I met him for the first time in person. Having worked with Rick Walker for many years, I had recalled many of the kind words that Rick shared with me over the years about Les and his former teammates at East High.
Les and I have had many good conversations over the years about coaching high school athletes. I respect his wisdom on the court as a coach, but more so off the court as a person. My casual talks with Les improved my work as a soccer coach. His preparedness and high worth ethic, combined with his passion to succeed with a measure of honor rubbed off on me over the years and I am grateful to call Les my friend.
