So come stand with us - we are living proof that it can be done and we are delighted that you are on board.

At first I thought this was a joke, like JohnW was just pretending to be your dad, but then I saw all those old timers - Tresa, Lin, Katy and Pat -- showing up and then I started realizing that it is true! You've got the greatest Dad, Coach, and he's one of the greatest group of folks here. They will not lead you down a wrong path. Good luck!
