Unreferenced anecdote

[edit]

moved to talk RJFJR (talk) 20:15, 15 April 2011 (UTC) Those students at Vic High who did not know him feared him. Andrews' coaching style was distinctly old school, severe and succinct. But his heart shone, and his compassion was never far from the surface. In early 1966, one of his students contracted cancer of the spine, long undiagnosed. By Easter it had led to problems walking. During outside gym class, led by Mr Andrews, this student began falling down, and was ridiculed by some students. Andrews realized something was seriously wrong, put his arm around the crying student and helped/carried him to the school nurse, and glared down those students who had been laughing. That student went on to become MLA for Victoria, and never forgot Mr Andrews' kindness that day. Many such stories could be told about this good man and great coach.[reply]
