Pat Porter. Epitomized grit. I met Pat, but never Kobe. Once asked what he did in Alamosa when he had 6 x mile to do and it was 5 degrees out with 20 mile per hour winds, Pat did not hesitate to answer, "well, I put on an extra pair of wind pants and get out there." Kobe would not get out of bed.
Pat ran like Pre & Paula --- from the front & w/NO FEAR!
