Ms Sue Susic Ervin
I’m excited
to hear of your nomination for induction into the Wisconsin Sports Hall of
Fame You never hit a home run for the Brewers or scored a touchdown for
the Packers but it’s your kind of dedication to athletes that a spot in
the Hall of Fame is certainly all about.
It’s been a long time since we’ve crossed paths, but even
though I left Milwaukee 11 years ago I’ve been able to keep up with your
career and your accomplishments in Madison. I
remember well your work with Kelly Ann Szmurlo and so many other skaters
through the years-- and it’s been great following the skaters you bring to
Madison for competitions with the Figure Skating Club of Madison
As
a father of two children (with a third on the way), my wife and I know the
importance of good coaches in athletics-- not just to help athletes gain
medals or trophies but to prepare them for the competitions of life and
now to deal with success and adversity. These are the lessons you’ve been giving your
skaters for a very long time, and that’s invaluable.
You don’t demand recognition for yourself or your
accomplishments, but it’s time you receive one of the highest honors a
sports person can receive in our state.
Good luck in your nomination— we all look forward to
your induction
into the Wisconsin
Sports Hall of Fame.
