Last night Los Angeles lost a good man and a word class basketball coach.
He was 99 years old and sharp as a tack right up to the end.
Two of Mr. Woodens quotes do apply to engraving and many other things as they did to basketball.

"It's what you learn after you know it all that's important."
And the other. "Be quick, but don't hurry."

Right on Coach. God's speed. :tiphat:

I really admired John Wooden. I have read a lot of his quotes over the years. My favorite:
"Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful".

He most certainly was a great man, and perhaps the greatest college basketball coach ever! I loved watching his teams back in the Jabbar and Bill Walton era.

The world will surely miss him.
