Sometimes I wish they'd let us enter more info beyond the little 'snippet' we're allowed. I could write a whole lot more about Scott if I had the room. We're lucky to know such great guys. :)

dotsey

aren't we though :))))

I was anticipating that Jim would have won also. He's certainly very deserving of the title of "real man." It sounds like between him and his wife, they've been thru a lot in their lives.

dotsey

well, there are a lot of deserving guys out there - alls I can say is that he is also plays and manages the Orl Magic Wheels and works hard for those guys and gals - brings their uniforms home after each game, washes them and takes them to the next game - takes a plastic bag everywhere he walks the dog and picks up trash - amazing guy!

dotsey
