Wow! <br /><br />I hope you've been able to take some youth to Pirates games, they've been doing well this season!<br /><br />I wonder if you're coming out to Utah anytime soon. Let me know.<br /><br />Peace,<br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464720108802765988.post-49657876601744587382013-06-03T18:23:16.787-07:002013-06-03T18:23:16.787-07:00Chad,

I am very happy God saw fit for you to be a part or reaping what you sowed.<br /><br />As I read your blog, I can't help but to understand that this is extreme example of what we all face - and that is trusting others, and gaining the trust of others. Being as falible as we are it is easy to let others down, and lose their trust. In the case of Boo Man, I am sure this has happened many times in hist past. It's a beautiful thing to see that you have gained his trust, and it's a perfect thing to see he has put his trust in someone who will never let him down.<br /><br />Thanks for being a part of this and sharing with the rest of us.steve bossenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464720108802765988.post-15620570105751557172011-07-02T17:37:25.629-07:002011-07-02T17:37:25.629-07:00Chad B!

You are truly a spiritual father and mentor to these boys and doing great work (your work and His work). I sent you a Christmas card to the old Quail address, but it bounced back to me. Do u live on Evandale Rd? Please give me the address, as February 11 is just around the corner. (I hope your +21 boys take you out for a drink!) Hope your New Year is off to a great start.
