Life is very busy for most people and Kris Richardson is a great example of a person that is trying hard to squeeze as much out of life as anyone I know which made it a challenge to find the perfect opportunity to show are gratitude to his efforts on our Carroll County Girls 👧 Basketball 🏀 Book 📖 !
From the very first time that I showed Kris the Strasburg High School Volleyball 🏐 Book we had created a few years back he was on board with helping us create our attempt to capture the Amazing story.
His attention to detail led to a finished product that I believe will stand the test of time. We were hoping to create something that the Young Ladies could pull of their mantle when they’re 75 and show their Great Grandchildren of their accomplishments way back in the day. Close your eyes 👀 and envision your favorite Lady 👩 Cavalier player glowing with pride and showing the photos 📷 and stories of yesteryear.
Simply put, the Book 📖 doesn’t exist without the 500 – 600 hours that Richardson sank into the effort across a year that at times felt like a decade.
Many other people had their hands in the project along the way but the majority of them were professionals that were compensated for their time.
Yesterday finally presented Lin and I a window to show our gratitude 🙏 for all of his hard work and dedication ! We set out to frame a day that would show a very personal touch of a Thank You and I think we came close!
The day included Lunch and both time on the campus of Wake Forest University and Duke University. Kris tries to hide the fact that he’s what we like to call a closet Duke fan. Unlike Lin and I who have openly spent a lifetime supporting a fine academic University, Kris has a harder time expressing his Love 💘 for the Blue Devils.
Sadly the We Appreciate Kris tribute came to an end before the Noon kick-off today at Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 when Duke hosts the Pittsburgh Panthers but they had to return to our village of Laurel Fork for adult responsibilities across Saturday.
For anyone that received one of the Gifted copies of our Book 📖 know this for sure – it doesn’t happen without the Man that shares our little Hamlet on the East side of the County, our Love for all things Carroll County and finally our Love for Duke University ❤💙!
Thank You Sir,
Sincerely,
OneofUs.Care ❤
