THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Athletic Fund Award

Jeff, Mindy & All the people that contriubuted: I am so honored that you have given this award to me. I cannot describe or express the appreciation of this.

To be honest, I went to this discussion when it was posted, with the simple intent of saying "good idea", I then read Pamela's story. I felt the desire to write my story so… Continue

It was a risky procedure that didn't do well and I spent 3 weeks in the hospital trying to recover a… Continue

Earlier that year Jeff had a display booth to promote his upcoming shows. Mindy actually stopped by to ask for more information and clearly remembers having a br… Continue
