I played for Mike at Cal Poly SLO (1978-9) when he first started coaching. It was an honor to get to know him and I have always enjoyed following his accomplishments over the last 31 years.

I respected my coach for being who he was, disciplined and responsible. Everyone has their own stories, some good and some not. I was one of those players that had a good time. As a player you learn skills that develop during your athletic career and are a part of you long after you hang your shoes up. It was only through hard work and making the right choices that I was able to make it through the tough times as a student athlete on the men’s volleyball team. I believe coach Wilton wanted us to see that this was the way. I understand now how much coach Wilton had an impact on me. His lessons have helped me as I have travelled and made my way through life. I have expressed my gratitude many times before and I will do it again, thank you for positively impacting my life and giving me the chance to play for you. Good luck coach, Vernon Podlewski Aloha Everyone,
