Chip,
Great story!!! As I read and looked at the pictures, I was reminded of my 20 year reunion next week.... I'm still the same size as I was when I was freshman, maybe a 1/2 inch shorter now from stunts..
I think every father/parent absolutely agrees with you on everything you said. I love talking about my son and his accomplishments and look fwd to every new word/phrase and athletic move that comes outta him.... I've often questioned if I talk about him too much, but we can't.... we can't ever
When I saw the pics of Charley from Rally I, that's how I remember him.... He's huge now..... and my philosophy on athletics because of my size is "better to be a small fish in a big pond then the biggest fish in a small pond" Allows plenty of room for growth, strength and determination etc....
Great for him..... good luck for the rest of the season and I look fwd to hearing you talk about him more....
