Letter to the Editor: About Coach Bob Geyer

Jemez

Sorry for joining the conversation so late. I live in the Jemez now and I don’t have any kids in the Los Alamos school system, so I don’t hear about some things, till later.

I’ve know Bob Geyer for 20 years or so and have coached with him several times. If I had a child participating in sport in Los Alamos, I would be thrilled if Bob was her/his coach.

I coached youth sports in Los Alamos for 17 years, mostly football but also baseball and soccer. I also work for 10 years with BSA Explorers (14-18 year old Boy Scouts). My Wife and I raised six kids of our own in Los Alamos. Read More

Editor’s note – The author of this letter is a woman and is not to be confused with Assistant Wrestling Coach Jude Montoya.
