Thank you Tom for your kind words. God bestows his blessings on me daily when He paints a 
on a child's face or a wounded warrior wraps his burly arms around me and thanks me for chasing away the demons and having the opportunity to be with his brothers in arms to share a moment.
It took me most of a lifetime to realize that God's blessings come when you give.
I hope the legacy I leave will be a hundred children that have learned to love the outdoors and to fish in spite of the disabilities they suffer through and that the many men and women that have served our country so valiantly will know that America cares for all they have done for us.
And on a personal note Tom, the special reel you donated brings so much joy to those that are paraplegic as they realize they can catch a fish on their own. It brings happiness and change to these kids in wheelchairs. For them and me..."Thank you."
