Youth soccer season ended for both of my boys last Saturday. You can learn a lot coaching 5-8 year old soccer players. A lot. Some of it, you really, really, really wish you didn’t learn. Seriously.
Holly, my newly minted teenage daughter, agreed once again to be my assistant coach. Before the season was over, she hired an assistant to the assistant coach, who was her best friend.
Atlee Gulley. I remember when I first met him. He came storming in our office and asked for Jo Anne. He didn’t ask for her by name though. Instead, he called her something else. I believe this time he called her “The Mouth.”
At first, I was terrified. “What in the world did Jo Anne do to make this man mad?” I wondered. As Jo Anne came out, he smiled and the two started talking, like old friends.
Nashville lost one of its icons last week as Mr. Atlee Gulley passed away on Wednesday, May 30.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Myrtle and his family as all of us here at The Graphic will mournfully miss Mr. Gulley.
I will especially miss his visits to the paper. He would drop by the office quite often to just chew the fat.
