Daren,

It went very well, and I cannot thank those that offered support enough, especially Bobby Brannon. When dealing with sick kids nothing is ever etched in stone and two of them were admitted Friday to St Jude's from out-treament and another one had a sudden procedure the day before and couldn't attend but her family was able to come and get a little brake. There was even a class on how to make Chicago Style hotdogs. (Luckily no one asked for ketchup...) And we did have some come who just found out about it from one of the families and had not signed up. Like dinner at my grandmothers, there is always room for a few more.

On the other hand I received a call from a mother Saturday who's son really wanted to attend but the doctors were letting them go home after nearly two months there and she apologized, then said SHE really needed to get home but asked if he could come next year. Sooo

One youngster had never been to a drag race before and I think was a little shy at first. A young lady sitting in Bobby's Firebird with the belts on gave him a big smile and a big thumbs up!

Lord willing I'll be older and a little smarter next year but I'd like to do it again. So those of you who offered to help please expect to be getting calls soon for next year.

And we also owe Miss Brittney Brannon a big thanks for the use of her dishes and utensils. We would have been in deep you know what with out them!!!
