Roll Model
Louis Ferreira
Joe Montana was a hero of mine as a child growing up and once again he has demonstrated the characteristics that made him such a great roll model. The day he retired was the day I stopped watching football, because the man has more heart and integrity then any other player in the NFL. The world needs more men like him. I also found his segment personally touching, because he has roots in Sicily, much like myself. In recent years I have made an effort to track my roots through Ellis Island's records, because many of my family members passed away before I was old enough to really question where I came from and it has been an invaluable resource in my research. Thanks to the records that have been kept my future children will know where they came from, but I find it embarrassing that our country would let part of our history deteriorate like that. It should be preserved in its entirety for future generations to see. Thank you again Joe for setting the bar high for the rest of us.
