John Wooden images

John Wooden speaks in Manhattan Beach in 2007 brought to Manhattan Beach by South Bay Brokers. He spoke to the packed audience at the Journey of Faith church about the Pyramid of Success, poetry and life itself for over an hour at the age of 97. My husband Dave and I had the wonderful opportunity to go backstage before his speech and meet with him by ourselves as everyone else left us alone. He signed some books for our friends and talked to us about his wife and from memory recited some poetry without a moments hesitation. The only thing I wish I had written down the names of the poems he shared with us that night. These photos are two to remember that evening with a legend.
