Droves of Dennis Disciples

Fabulous piece on Dennis Denning of St. Paul [“Building the Boys of Summer,” May]. I write with a long and positive historical perspective on Coach Denning. I am one of literally thousands of young men who was fortunate to have had Dennis as a coach, way back in 1966, as a 7th grade athlete at St. Luke’s Grade School in St. Paul. For more than 35 years, Dennis has been a mentor, a role model, and an individual whom I have looked up to as a hero. He takes a genuine interest in his players’ lives, he watches out for his players and he is simply one of the highest quality individuals that I have been lucky enough to be associated with. Mr. Cox and Mr. Dvorak, you guys do great work!
