Twenty years as a high school teacher and coach have followed Bob’s days at Findlay College. He has coached track, wrestling and football, and three of his football teams won league titles. Bob is currently the Accounting/Computing teacher at Knox County J.V.S. in Ohio, and the wrestling coach in his home town. He has chaired his local Zoning Appeals Board for 18 years, is a Past Master and education officer of Masonic Lodge #86, is an 18 year trustee of the Johnstown United Methodist Church and has worked with the Boy Scouts. At Findlay, “Bruno” played football and wrestled for four years. His prowess on the football field earned him the honors of Honorable Mention Little All-American Tackle and co-captain of the Mid-Ohio League. He also played tackle on the Army’s championship football team at Ft. Knox. Bob’s philosophy on the value of sports is that “Sports should provide every person the opportunity to become part of a combative game stressing competition, initiative and imagination. It will be enjoyed with its infinite possibilities for thrilling moments which will form cherished and never-to-be-forgotten memories.”
