Gary Lewis Achievement Award

[Disc71]

In addition to other things he has done this year, Steve Slater was one of the first people to step up and help me at my last tournament when my team left me high and dry. That was a big help.

That's awesome! Thanks for the info.

Okay, thanks for the info Jesse.

Woh...Mr. Frank Grimes isn't on the list!

Please add Frank - not only does he put his time, money, and sweat into beautiful Channy, he is a fantastic person all around. He is battling cancer but still does what he does. He makes an effort to befriend new people and make them feel extremely welcome. If it wouldn't have been for Frank's outward show of support, I don't think I would have had near as much motivation to continue to improve and keep playing the singles league.

Frank, you have my vote, sir!

Thanks Gibby! But as you know, especially being in the Military, about different personalities. It's a big deal being transferred & who do you warm up to & who do you trust?   You are easy easy to warm up to! I'm thrilled in getting to know you. You project as a very good person & welcome!
Now Jess, I'll give you a call for what I know, Slater  was under my radar. We have such a GREAT bunch of people, & most will sacrifice to help, like Shawn Harmon. When you think about it, our Community is huge.
