MEMORY OF Occasionally, an individual appears on the horizon who fits no ordinary mold or any sage's philosophical quotation: such a man was joe Latham. The magnitude of his spirit was too great to be measured by or compared to any one person because he was a composite of many. Painting a word picture of joe Latham is a formidable taskg however, I am happy to share the joe that I knew and worked with for nearly thirty years. joe- served his country with the same patriotic zeal which motivated such men as Washington, Henry, Paine and john Glenn. shared a sense of humor and wit which held reflections of Lincoln and Twain. developed a political philosophy which was reminescent of Will Rogers. exhibited the leadership qualities of Moses as he marched his athletes through wins and loses. bore the courage of David as he met Goliaths on the football field and in the stands. portrayed the faith of Abraham and passed it on to his children and athletes. respected and honored women like the Apostle Luke, not from a sense of demand but from a sense of nobility. was loyal to his friends as Jonathan was to David and betrayed not one. joe revered God, loved his wife, children and family, honored his country, and gave his all to his Profession. Now that was a man! 2 Z .'f'f7' ,vf jOE LATHAM Latham Memorial Stadium was deidcated this year to honor the latejoe Latham, former coach and teacher at Ernest Ward for 27 years. Coach Latham was instrumental in helping construct the original field, He had been named Coach of the Year four times by the Florida Association of Coaches, and following his retirement was involved totally in the community fund-raising efforts for the Quarterback Club, Volunteer Fire De- partment, and other civic organizations. -L 4
