Everyone has a mentor. Bob Hamilton was my head man. Had he not believed in a floundering farm kid looking for a direction so long ago, I doubt this moment ever would have happened. His support and guidance when I was 16 made all the difference, as it did with dozens of other aspiring journalists.
By the way, Bob also recently published a book about legendary North Idaho coach Cotton Barlow and Cotton's own phenomenal mentoring of many Panhandle athletes. It has involved years and years of research, and it's called "Cotton." It's available in Sandpoint bookstores and at the Bonner County Museum.
