    hmmm, interesting, I may have stumbled across the original then.

    I am reading a biography of Lou Gehrig and one of his doctors at the Mayo clinic was Dr. Bayard T. Horton who once wrote (in an article titled "Musings on Medical Research with a Note on My Last Talk with Dr. Will" published in the book Staff Meetngs of the Mayo Clinic Vol.37, No. 12, p.334) "The history of medicine, like the history of the world, is the history of but a few people, . . . It is only the few who leave their footprints on the sands of time; if a man expects to do so, he must wear his working shoes."

    Horton believed himself to be on the verge of a major medical breakthrough involving the use of histamines to treat and cure a wide range of maladies, including ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He expected that his work with histamines would place him in the company of the great medical researchers in history, but his quest to complete his research into histamines dominated the rest of his life with little gain.

    It's probably the same quote. Coach Langley was also our U.S. History teacher. Small school coaches wear many hats :)
