Too bad the general public can't get to read some of this kind of stuff....it might put the official in a whole different light.
People might just be a bit more understanding of what officials do, and their dedication to their avocation, and have more respect than what I hear come from peoples uneducated mouths.
The high and mighty media should be furnished copies of these articles to add to their "expertise", since they do extensive backgrounds on teams and players, they could take time to educate themselves to the guys calling the game, maybe they wouldn't be constantly belittling the third team like they do.

Anderson had melanoma in 2009, roughly the same time Bob Lawing was in the middle of a cancer fight. I remember Mike Pereira in an interview getting choked up and saying he was really worried for those two officials. We wondered who the two officials were. Walt Anderson apparently was one of them.........
