Making A Difference
« on: June 08, 2011, 08:56:00 PM »
If this post is pulled, I will understand.

But I would first like to say that TGers have made and will continue to make a big difference in childrens' lives.  This has been shown not only by the outstanding contributions during the St. Judes' Auction, but also through the kindness shown by TGers after my son's passing that has touched my heart and that of my family.

Last night I attended my granddaughters graduation from High School.  Kelsey lives with my wife and me, and we are very proud of her.  Because of the dollars collected and passed to the family from Trad Gang, she will start college on the 27th of this month.  

Thank you all so much for all have done and continue to do.

Kelsey strikes me as the kind that will pay it forward.  Thanks again to Larry and Kelsey for all the support you gave to the auction this year.  "Inspiring" is understating it.

I am so proud of Kelsey.  I know she will go far and do good in life.
Larry, Christopher ( I still call him Lil Chris),Kelsey and Justin took a day out of their family time to come visit this old Redneck.
Lil Chris is continuing the Military Tradition of their family.
Justin has decided that I will be his adopted Grandpa!  
Larry is a great person and a stand up kinda guy.
I am proud to call this family friends.
Congrats to you Kelsey!!!
They will be in my heart and prayers.
I commend all the Tradgangers who have helped these good folks, and the Kids of St. Jude' Kids.
