Character demands respect. Among the greatest individuals I have encountered is the late Ray Dorr, former quarterbacks’ coach for A&M. The impact he had on the lives of players and coaches—in health as well as sickness—defies description. Ray Dorr was an inspiration to all who knew him. And because of his character—even in the midst of suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease)—his impact will be felt for generations to come.
