OK, before Charley yanks this part of the thread I'd like to say that I too had tears running down my cheeks when Ken told me the story! Just one of the many GOOD things you never hear about some of the people on this site!!!!!

Charley Lillard, you're one helluva guy!

And while we're at it, a certain Spoiled Brat in Kenosha ranks right up there as well.

Charley is going to kick all of your butts now...

You are right about Ken as well...as well as Steve Sandlin...and quite a few others...

Talk about "getting it"...they've known for a long time!

Your nephew certainly is an amazing young man! I'm sure he has quite a future ahead of him, I wish him the best!

John...you have to be proud! Jacob rocks...and is a heck of a basketball player. Looks like he is going to have a great future...no matter what he does.

Thanks so much for sharing

Better leave it alone. Sometimes it makes individuals with a little more income very happy to do something very special for another person anonymously and wanting nothing in return (Ken included). One thing I/we have practiced over the years is Random Acts of Kindness. Just watching the look on someones face when they receive something nice beit a tank of gas or a paid for dinner without ever knowing who it came from makes it all worth it and that pales in comparison to what we are talking about here. I would be willing to bet what Charley did made him happier than many of the car purchases he has made. Certainly the Isetta.

...If anyone has a special "younger" person that has inspired them...
.....let's hear about them.
..either in this thread ...or start one on your own...
...There's alot of great youngsters out there

It should be a very exciting game. Our opponet, The Windy City Warriors, won their semi final game today against the number one seed and defending champion Nebraska Reddawgs. Our team played our semi final game today against the BORP team out of San Diego. It was a great game, a huge team effort from our kids.

Our website AUCAROLINAS.ORG has lots of info and pictures about our team if you want to look around.

Thanks,
Jerry Tyree
