Punting situation

My older sister graduated from high school eight years before I did.

Our lives moved in different orbits. But one time there was an odd crossover.

My seventh grade football coach had been a classmate of hers. When he discovered that I was her brother, he wanted to know all about where she was, what she was doing, et cetera.

It was a little weird.

Anyway, he instructed me to tell her that he had said hello.

At some point, I must have done that. Because I still remember how amused my sister was that this guy was now a teacher and a coach. Apparently she had not been overly impressed with him as a teenager.

I cannot remember how I relayed this to my football coach. But I assume I was smart enough to lie.

Or maybe I just never said a thing.
