Rotarian Tim Kinsler introduced speaker, Pat Lewis (right) at the Rotary luncheon March 28th. Pat gave an inspiring talk about his 40 years of coaching experiences.  

Pat grew up in Emporium, graduating from CCHS and then Clarion University with a degree in Elementary Education.  Shortly after graduating from Clarion University, he received a job offer to teach 2nd grade at Woodland Elementary, along with the stipulation that he coach a high school girls’ basketball team. Up to this time, no male teacher had ever taught a grade below 5th grade or coached girls’ basketball.  

After many ups and downs, he wound up with a winning JV team.
