Coach Nair was the cross country coach at Patapsco High School for many years. His knowledge and coaching strategy pushed me to become the Baltimore County Champion in 1973. Without him, I couldn“t have done it. He was a damn good runner himself well into his later years. Our condolences to Ms. Jean and family. Rest In Peace Coach.
