More from Mr. Bill :
Congratulations to Jamison Crowder on making it to the NFC Championship game and to Noah Gray for getting back to another Super Bowl 🏈. Two of Duke’s finest.
A giant tip of the Cap to the folks from the Grayson County Sherriffs office as once again they were awesome while helping us get ready for the Special Olympics Basketball Classic 🏀 next Sunday !
To finish up the Week with any other Photo 📷 would just be wrong….
Thanks for following along and a special Thanks for all who pitched in to make it happen !!!
We will get back at it when the Sun 🌞comes up, God willing 🙏
Had to pull into the parking lot of the Church ⛪ when I saw that the sign was once again being worked on.
The story of the process or better yet, the road traveled can wait ✋ until the day that the work vehicle has left the property but that its a tremendous tale of patience and obstacles.
Stephen Puckett is once again going to be a part of our Banquet as he is set to speak about Mrs. Tammy Quesenberry. I just hope that five weeks from today, the sign is fully acting as God’s beacon in our Laurel Fork sky.
First note 📝 – the miniature profile of Kris Richardson is only half done. If you enjoyed the read (Lin timed it at 15 minutes), I encourage you to check back in about a week as its a work in progress.
Eddie Robinson, who I met for the first time yesterday, shared some thoughts and Kevin Burress did the same. We are even going to give Kris a chance to take a pen 🖊 and share his thoughts. So far, he’s only questioning the comparison to Al Davis about Win at All Cost.
Kindness leads to Kindness and then more Kindness. As I mentioned when typing my notes, Kris was not the only Hero yesterday. Plenty of people were at the other sites doing the exact same thing. Brandi Cochran Mitchell has plenty of folks helping her with the AAU and I was hoping that someone would step up and share a story.
Shane Reed had to be away from his team yesterday afternoon due to a Family Medical emergency. The best part of that part of the story is there’s now a clean bill of Health for the person involved.
Shane was letting me know about two individuals who stepped up to Coach his team in his place. Travis Austin is the Man 👨that falls into the category of the Coolest person that I’ve worked with multiple times without ever meeting in person and Tee Jackson who I met for the first time yesterday.
Travis and Tee filled in for Shane, coaching the game which led into the video 📹 which appears at the top. Grant sinking the free throws that pushed the game into Overtime. If this story was on Social Media someone would feel the need to point out that they lost in OT but the story is not about who won the game.
Shane went on to mention Kris and Brandi by name and added that he has coached some members of his team for years now. In the middle of a tough day some friends stepped up and some other friends send him a few videos of his younger Son being clutch in the moment.
Thank You to Shane for sharing the kindness and what it meant to you!
Thank You Travis & Tee and Thank You to the folks that sent along the videos.
Sometimes a person caring ❤ about others can be so uplifting to the person on the receiving end. We will address this on 3/2 in one of our tributes.

Help Wanted :
Kevin Burress and I decided that our one Musical 🎼 number at the Banquet this year would be the two of us sitting our Wives in the center of a room full of people and serenade them with You are the Woman 👩by Rick Roberts & Firefall.
Last year when we did Soul Man by the Blues Brothers it was designed to make people laugh out loud. This is not intended to make people laugh out loud but there’s no way we can avoid that.
See, while we will give it our best shot, neither of us can sing our way out of a paper bag 🎒. We will have my Son playing guitar 🎸 to help us sound better but there is little hope for us.
The moment is designed to show people that its okay to shower 🚿 your Spouse with Love and Appreciation in a public forum. Chris Leonard has agreed to join us but is now questioning the value of knowing us ????
When we approached Rick Nester about joining our group he declined. In my mind, his beautiful Bride 👰 Donna is sitting in the corner crying 😢 because her Man has stage freight.
So, if you will, next time you see Rick. Say to him, I heard what you did to Donna…….
We are going to work on Bill Gallimore and Marion Harris but only if they were to promise not to make us look bad.
That invitation goes to anyone else that will be there. The requirements are
Being Married
Having your wife be willing to stand across from you.
