#1960’s December 10

In December 2025, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Rewind Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we’ll rewind, review, reflect or—in my case—re-blog one of my nearly 4,000 posts that highlight experiences shaping us into better versions of ourselves. If you don’t have a blog, your reflections can come from a journal or even a meaningful memory tied to something learned, a goal reached, or a personal effort to improve. These daily habits of looking back will serve as a powerful springboard for taking on a new and ambitious challenge in 2026. Today my rewind is on a post about Lumberton HS and the 1960’s.

In 2018, I experimented with my blog by sharing the writing duties with John Rancke. John posted on the even-numbered days, and I covered the odd-numbered ones. By mid-February, both of us—especially John—realized the level of commitment involved. To his credit, he honored the full-year agreement, but he made it clear afterward with a loud “No Más” that he wouldn’t be repeating it.

His post from June 20, 2018, highlighted his experiences at Lumberton High School in the 1960’s and showcased his deep appreciation for Coach Tunney Brooks and Finley Read.

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing a rewind, review, or reflection during the month of December
