Hall Of Fame Night

Last week I had the honor of introducing and speaking about a former athlete at the annual Owasso Rams Hall of Fame Banquet. It was a very emotional time for me to get to be back in Owasso with coaches, administrators, teachers, community friends, church friends, and athletes that I was so close to for 17 years in my work there.

The event was about 4 hours long with long visits before and after the banquet started. There was the meal, a highlight videos and then the introductions and inductions of the outstanding athletes/people that were being recognized.

I got to speak about the outstanding male athlete of the 90's and his amazing high school, college, and personal accomplishments. It was a night of many memories. It was a night with former coaches and friends that we seemed to pick right up where we left off. I really did not feel alone. There was lots of kindness and grace to me. Also, lots of smiles.

Thanks Rusty for inviting me. Thanks Steve and Danny for the terrific banquet.

I read about you being there in the Owasso Reporter and was so happy for you. Two fabulous nights in a row . . . whew! It's a good thing the Lord is going to change us when we get to heaven because then every second will be completely amazing and I don't think our little human hearts could take it! And just think, Vicki has been basking in all that glory for almost seven months now!

All my love, always!
