"I bow to the master"

That's what Dawne Cardinalli of Santa Rosa said when she saw Ron Miller, 61, make a dive from the springboard at the Finley Aquatic Center. Cardinalli has an 11-year old daughter, Hannah, who also is a member of the Santa Rosa Diving Club.

"To me, when I see Ron," Cardinalli said, "I feel that nothing is unreachable. It is incredible what he is doing. And I think it's good for the kids on the team to see what he's doing, that as an adult he can still relate to them by diving."

Miller, who had never dove before, took up the sport a year ago. While he has yet to compete in a meet, Miller makes every practice, does every training drill.

The next oldest member on the team is Jen Meyer, the former Ursuline diving star who will dive next year for UC Davis.

Comment: Bob, answer me this. You wrote this great article about Tony Keefer being hired at SRHS but you have mentioned nothing about Piner Football and their new coach. My son plays for Piner and we parents could never be happier with the coaching selection. Our team has looked outstanding in passing league and our coach is a total class act which is alot different than the past. Why does Piner never seem to be on your radar? Maybe a nice article about our program would boost the moral of our players as we try to turn around a long time losing program. I enjoy your work Bob and I read all your articles. I enjoyed the article about the Gomes brother working with kids. Thanks Bob.
