We are starting to get a little publicity for our club. I was interviewed by the Brazosport Facts newspaper this week and ended up on the front page. Monday Terry and I will be on Channel 13 news at 4 o'clock. They are doing a piece on Rods For Soldiers. Rocky Thomas (Brad Thomas Dad) will be here to be interviewed concerning the rod presented to Brad. I am glad Terry is going to be here, I am not a very good speaker and maybe he can do the hard work. I hope all of you realize how hard Terry works to make our club successful. He is pretty smart in a weird sort of way. He has a very creative mind. Pat
That soundfs like a plan. Be sure he scrubs up real good and puts on a clean shirt. haha I have been cleaning my shop but you can't hardly tell it. Pat
Heh thanks Pat! Thats one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me...in a weird sorta way...lol
I thought you were going to carry me on TV! Doug said he's coming...we'll shove him out there in front! hahaha
Well now, that'll for sure get us some publicity. O'l Doug all tongue tied. Hell they'll think... "Oh look, isn't great they tought that retarded man how to build rods....."
BTW, it aint so bad. I did the "kids say the funniest things" segment of the Art Linkletter Show back in 65 or 66 (i think?) and a couple years ago I was on Fox 40 News. They aired a segment about Cable theft and I was with the Security Dept.
Incredible job Pat! The message you sent out to America and our boy's in (and out of) the sandbox was clear and made us all proud! I agree with you in that there must be something far beyond normal grey matter between Terry's ears. As well as talent and creativity. He gets my vote for President!
"Hell they'll think... "Oh look, isn't great they tought that retarded man how to build rods....." Doug - get me up there with ya... I'll make ya look like a Harvard Graduate.... lol
