When you decide to take on a project the size of this one, there is no way to know how many people will choose to get involved. One of the folks that played a role in June 13, 2015 was Craig Worrell, who at the time coveted High School sports for the newspaper 📰 located in Galax.

  The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words might have been created with Craig in mind. The Galax Gazette was home to his efforts for an entire generation and the residents of Carroll County were blessed to have him !

  The Worrell Brothers ( but No, not really), were a fixture in regards to The Hill. Allen Worrell ( no relation) at The Carroll News was also in Lynchburg back in 2015 and coverage was also available in the Roanoke Times and the Washington Post. Craig Worrell is to photography what the Steve Miller Band is to Classic Rock 🎸, in that the work is something that brings a smile to peoples faces.

Thank You Craig Worrell 🙏. Much more to be included down the road…

Thank You Sir !

Tiffanie and Tracy Moore

 

  Before I get into my Father and Daughter Softball connection with out youngest of our five Children, Rebecca, I want to touch on why the Father – Daughter dynamic is such a huge part of the game of Softball.

  The core group of Men that create the circle around Alan Knight and his Lady Panthers Softball program have one thing in common – they raised daughters that played for Page County High School. Dennis Zimmerman, Big Daddy and Arthur Campbell are three examples of folks that maintain their bond with the program long after their daughters graduate 🎓.

Tracy Moore is someone who has both a next level relationship with his daughter and the ability to put it into words. Here is a message he created a couple of years back as Tiff was celebrating a Birthday.

  The goal behind documentation of a 40+ year relationship with the game of Softball is to give people a reason to smile as they reminis about what the time they spent with their children as they group up was all about.

From the first pair of cleats, the first ball glove and the first Bat. There is no restriction here to just the Dads from June 13, 2015, as any Proud Papa that has been part of this journey can join in.

Like everything else in life, not everyone is comfortable with pouring out their emotions. But if you have a thought process about Fathers and Daughters in regards to Softball, I would love 💘 to read it.

Thank You to Mr. Moore for raising such an Amazing daughter and for sharing an afternoon in your home.
