    The old saying "don't judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes", couldn't be truer. Larry Bruce is a local legend, reporting on High School sports for as long as I can remember. I appreciate his way of weaving a visual of the event. Larry was one of the first people in Circle I wanted to interview.
