T. Scott Major – Class of 2000

 

 

Coach Thornton…

is always where he says he will be, when he says he will be there.

is always happy to see his athletes no matter what is going on in his life.

is always honest with you, especially if he likes you.

is not a big talker, but when he says something, people listen.

is in love with his wife Merril.

loves his two boys and their families.

takes coaching a little too serious, but that makes him a great coach.

 

 

 

has an All-Character Team.

makes me laugh even when it isn’t a laughing matter.

doesn’t recruit. He lets the runners come to him.

respects people of every walk of life. Even Iowans.

is a gentleman.

gives me a reason to visit St. Olaf.

 

 

 

is someone I want my wife and children to know.

is someone who I care about, because he cared about me.

 

I truly cherish my time with Bill Thornton and I hope he feels the same.
