Gregory Lagola Nomination Letter

4/10/19

Dear HOF election committee,

I am writing to you today to endorse Michelle Owens for the Cadets Hall of Fame. I worked with Michelle at Cadets for a number of seasons and of course not only knew and loved her as a colleague but also as a friend. Michelle’s warmth, professionalism, personality, and passion to whatever she put her mind to were inspirational, not only to me, but more importantly to all the students she affected throughout her time with the Cadets. To be honest, I feel Michelle most strongly embodied the true spirit of what it meant to be a Cadet and to represent the ideals of hard work, commitment to excellence, and sportsmanship that we all strive towards.

On a personal level, simply put, I adored her. I cannot think of a time that she wasn’t smiling or laughing with the members or the staff, or just creating a positive and happy environment which touched everyone around her. I count myself lucky to have known her and to have called her a friend.

I warmly recommend her to the Cadets Hall of Fame.

Sincerely,

Gregory Lagola

Cadets Hall of Fame member, class of 2013
