Go Earnest!
To the editor:
When I read about all of the stupid things some of the over-paid, underperforming, arrogant professional ball players do, I think of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful role model in Earnest Graham as our local hero.
He is a great person. Don’t ever think he didn’t earn it the hard way. Life was never easy for him, but he always had his head on straight. As a Mariner High School student, he always worked hard. His coaches, teachers, counselor, principal, staff, and student body were always proud of him and all of the football records he set.
Through college and his professional career he held his head up high and never complained or gave up, even with several injuries that sidelined him where he was not able to show his true talent.
He has always been an ultimate team player and has never forgotten his roots. He loves being able to give back to the community and greeting old friends who have always believed in him.
Get well soon and Go Earnest!
