Coach supports Tenoglia for judge

Dear Editor,

I am writing in support of Christopher Tenoglia for Common Pleas Judge. I am, and have been, the Varsity Baseball Coach at Eastern High School or more than 10 years. For the last seven years, I have not only coached our high school kids, but the pony league kids in the summer, as well. It was there that I first met Chris, who was a volunteer coach.

Chris had a great knowledge of baseball, which I later learned he got from being a four year letter winner and captain of the Ohio University baseball team when he was in college there. However, his knowledge of baseball takes a backseat to his love and enthusiasm for the kids that he coached, and when you are around him, that enthusiasm just rubs off on everyone. He just has a great attitude about life.

Not only was he a volunteer coach, but he thought so much of the kids that if we needed equipment or if the field needed improvements, and the school could not afford it, Chris made sure that the kids had the equipment they needed to play by paying for many things personally.

I have even seen him go so far as to bring his own lawn mower and lawn equipment down to work on the field just so the kids could play.

On March 6th, I urge all of you to put that enthusiasm and sense of pride to work for all of us, and elect Christopher Tenoglia Common Pleas Judge.
