on cars and boats, as their minds are still on all the Pros and the great things
they witnessed at the PAA Tournament. This was a special treat for all of us.
Most of these kids are from broken homes, or from loving families with very
little money. In this group two boys are from foster homes and 2 others from
ranches.
