Thanks Robert.
And you have a good point about it affecting all of us. We have now or have had kids from just about every county in the state. When they turn 18, if they don't go to jail, they're going to live near you. I feel a lot better knowing we put in some effort to show them some life skills and good, clean fun. They can get a lot of enjoyment out of things that are not corrupt behavior.

Thanks Carl, I had a blast myself watching those boys catch fish. To me there's not a better thing than watching someone that hasn't been fishing before or very little pull in fish after fish. Thanks to all of you at the school for what you do for these boys that gives us the opportunity to help in small ways like yesterday. I hope the boys had a blast and have good stories to tell for the future. My phone is on anytime you need anything.

Heath, I called our CEO on the way home last night and told him about the trip. I said I had no idea you were going to take the kids fishing, but I kind of thought the idea might have come to you when you were speaking to them Monday. You asked how many had never camped out and fished before and at least half of them raised their hands.
Regardless of when it happened, we all can't thank you enough. You gave them a positive lifetime experience. I'm sure they'll always remember that.

Hey Carl thats a great thing you did for those young men. Life changing experiences only can happen if the situation is presented by someone that cares. I have never met Heath Taylor but have always known he is a stand up guy just by reading his posts over the last three years. You guys deserve many Kudo's for what ya have done. Thanks for sharing the great story!

I was sort of scratching my head when you left the paper but after reading this post and seeing the pics I am SURE you did the right thing. The world needs more people like Carl Ellis. I miss you buddy.

Wow, thanks Eric. I think a lot of people who know me thought the same thing. Really, I was lucky to have this opportunity.
