Abaalmarinta La Sharafay

Intii uu ku jiray xirfad waxbarasho oo socotay 45 sano, Ed Haley wuxuu is arkay isagoo sameynaya waxa uu jecel yahay inuu sameeyo maalin kasta - isagoo wax baraya oo hagaya dhalinyarada.

"Waligiis kama uusan hadlin inuu doonayo shaqo kale," ayay tiri gabadha Haley, Sharon Hermel. "Bariddu waxay ahayd isaga."

Hubaal way ahayd. Haley wuxuu gaaray Dugsiga Sare ee Excelsior sanadkii 1945 ka dib markii uu dhowr sano ku qaatay waxbaristiisa Garden City, Minnesota. Kala duwanaanshihiisa waxbarasho ayaa si wanaagsan loo isticmaalay, maadaama uu, mar ama mar kale, dhigi jiray maaddo kasta oo laga bixiyo dugsiga, marka laga reebo dhaqaalaha guriga, wuxuuna tababari jiray kubadda cagta, kubbadda kolayga iyo baseball-ka.

Carruurtu waxay ahaayeen "xiisihiisa," ayay tiri Hermel, iyadoo raacisay in aabaheed, oo dhintay 1988, uu sameeyay intii karaankiisa ah si uu mid walba ugu beero qalabka loo baahan yahay si uu u fiicnaado oo uu wax ugu taro bulshada.

"Wuxuu (yiri) in waxbarashadu ay ahayd furaha iyo tikidhka lagu badbaado oo lagu guuleysto nolosha," ayuu yiri Hermel. Liiska ugu sarreeya ee uu doonayay wuxuu ahaa inuu siiyo dhammaan ardayda awood ay si fiican wax u akhriyaan oo ay u fahmaan waxay akhriyeen.

"Wuxuu inta badan odhan jiray, 'Bogagga buugaagta gudahooda, qofku wuxuu wax ka baran karaa qof kasta, wax kasta, meel kasta oo adduunka ah,'" ayay xasuusataa Markii Degmada Dugsiga Minnetonka la aasaasay horraantii 1950-meeyadii, Haley waxay wax ka dhigtay Dugsiga Sare ee Excelsior Junior muddo sannado ah.

Ka dib markii uu shahaadada Masterka ka qaatay cilmu-nafsiga waxbarashada, wuxuu ku qaatay inta ka hartay xirfaddiisa caanka ah la-taliye hagitaan, isagoo ka fariistay 1974-kii Dugsiga Sare ee West Junior.

Warqad uu dhawaan u diray Hermel, mid ka mid ah ardaydii hore ee Haley, Bob Abel oo ka tirsan Abel Heating ee Excelsior, ayaa ku sheegay sheeko taabanaysa oo ku saabsan kulan uu la yeeshay "Mr. Haley" waqti hore. Waqtigaas, Abel wuxuu ahaa 14 jir isku dayaya inuu helo calaamadda "Citizenship in the Community" ee Eagle Scout.

"Waa inaan aado xafiiska Ed ... oo aan awoodo inaan ka jawaabo su'aalaha isaga ka yimid ee ku saabsan sida bulshadu u shaqeyso, iwm., iyo waxa ay ka dhigan tahay in la noqdo muwaadin wanaagsan," ayuu qoray Abel. "Maadaama uu si fiican u qaban karay, wuxuu soo bandhigay wejigiisa dhabta ah wuxuuna iga dhigay mid dhididsan - laakiin ugu dambeyntii wuxuu i siiyay dhoola cadeyn yar oo ii sheegaysa inuu had iyo jeer u sacbinayay ... annaga carruurta waalan. Waxay ahayd mid ka mid ah calaamadaha ugu adag laakiin ugu qanacsan ee aan helay."

Markii la weydiiyay waxa aabaheed ku beeray qoyskiisa, Hermel wuxuu xusay in xiisaha uu u qabo waxbarashada uu ku dhaliyay laba ka mid ah wiilashiisa iyo laba carruur ah oo uu awoowe u yahay inay noqdaan macallimiin iyo barayaal.

Dhanka Hermel, "Waxaan ku soo laabtay kulliyadda anigoo 45 jir ah, waxaana shahaadadayda dhammeeyay anigoo 50 jir ah - aad buu u faani lahaa."
