]]> Comment on Arne Duncan, Sec’y of Ed, The Basketball Player by perry bromwell http://hoopstips.wordpress.com/2008/12/16/arne-duncan-secy-of-ed-the-basketball-player/#comment-2035 perry bromwell Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:33:59 +0000 http://hoopstips.wordpress.com/?p=208#comment-2035 Arnie Duncan was a fierce competitor, who obviously understood the Zen belief; to immerse oneself in what you do at the moment and with that focus great things can happen. I remember in '85, my sophomore year (Perry Bromwell, 1st Team All- Ivy and Honorable Mention All-American) at Penn playing to regain basketball prominence in the Ivy League, some thing only Penn and Princeton could claim until recent history- credit to Coach Donahue at Cornell. And, Arnie D. with a cast of other competitive team mates namely Bob Ferry, Danny Cabrino (sp)and others. I recall game winning shot I drained at their gym but later Arnie's squad would upset us in the Palestra. I'm sure his passion for hoops is a common thread between him President Obama and Craig Robinson, who was also a terrific Ivy hoopster. Those were the good old days when Ivy League Basketball had more depth of quality players, who actually put in the work, also outside the class room and study hall. With the cycle certain things go through, I think the quality Ivy Basketball cycle is back....so is Penn and Princeton....coming back!

He was emotional when he saw the name Malachi here on the screen. He is running basketball camps and teaching kids in Italy. He is also playing his saxophone (that he bought from Lew Alcindor)regularly and is playing a show in Pesaro this weekend. He has no computer or email, but he said his son put him on facebook. Send me a note and I will make sure he gets it. He knows Oscar as OKI.

At least I know I'm normal and I can stereotype "black" accent. It's so strange too. However, it teaches me a lesson. It's effective because I just realized that it's content. He uses English as it should be used. He K.I.S.S.es English. Teamwork. Loved it that he ignored those who win by creating foul situations and figures out how to identify it all ahead of time and be quick enough in the brain to evolve his brain. It's a very dangerous way to live on this earth. So he is extremely strong because of this attitude. Every single individual in a group is a challenge. There is such a thing as the "common law" and lives it. His attitude to strengthening the poorest community instead of running away from it is almost a miracle to me. I was born in 1929 on welfare and lived in public housing. So I grew up poor. But the neighborhood was always a safe community and I never knew fear. I learned fear when I became a mom and lived in the suburbs as Middle Class. Parents competing with each other with their children in public school. Teachers openly saying that children weren't going to interfere with their ability to become Principals. Giving the best books to those who passed highest on tests before they even entered the first grade. Especially when there was no public kindergarten. The way he played sports shows it works better his way, if only it were realized by those in power. Looked him up in Wikipedia as I saw him live on C-SPAN just now.

To Paul, Malachy, James and everybody else, does anyone have an idea if it could be possible to find some footage of Charlie's protest in Portland? If we can find some images from that day we may start to work on a documentary film. Please let me know. Ciao Oskar oskarlandi@hotmail.com Paul,
