PERTH — While talking to a supervisor in 1974, Rich Johns was told he should cut his shoulder-length hair and shave his moustache before interviewing for a tennis coaching position with the Saratoga Springs School District.
“Hopefully they’re going to take me for what I am. I’m not going to change my one percent,” Johns told his supervisor.
The former tennis coach shared this story with the students at the Broadalbin-Perth Intermediate School Thursday morning during a speech of his “Act with Respect Always” presentation.
