Rex Norris

Coach Norris regaled us with a full litany of his extensive and very interesting coaching career. 

 

Program highlights

Coaches move a lot and he sure did. Each move was described as his being happy where he was but someone had called. Well, he would just go make a visit but was not making a change. Going just to be cordial.

Then he would be swept away with the program he saw and could not sign fast enough! He's glad to be settled here in the Highland Lakes now and Daybreak Rotarians were glad to hear from him today.
