West Columbia resident Pat Helton shows off Tuesday one of several fishing rods he is working on for the group Rods for Soldiers. The group was started through Texas Rod Builders and provides rods for wounded and decorated soldiers.
Hey! That room looks to "uncluttered" to be of any use. What's up with that? My parents had a paddle like the one above the air conditioner. I hated that thing! OUCH!
My boss, who also lives in Brazoria county, handed me the online version of the newspaper article my first day back from vacation. I had previously told him the story of the Brad Thomas rod and TRB with TASF. .....I was in the Denver airport one day prior to this article and the reporter called me to talk about it. I told her that Pat was the project mgr. and he'd have more insight into the latest info. She said she'd already talked to him at length and wanted extra member input so I guess I was the next to answer the phone.......Indeed! Our man Pat
