I must tell you all that our oldest son Austin has been named #7 for hockey players of his birth year(1992) in all of North America.!!!!

We have all sacrificed so much, especially him. He has worked soo hard and is achieving his goals. There are lots of lists that people put together but only a few are actually important and have meaning. This is one of them!!!!

Thanks for letting me share this with you.

Here is the link, www.thescoutingnews.com, so you can see his picture and read a blurb about it. His name is listed at the end of the paragraph about the list. It says "1992 List" and then shows his picture.

MARY!! so proud of Austin- and of all of the sacrifices your family has made to help him reach his potential. Occasionally, I get some flack because we have allowed Thomas, almost 8, to compete on Travel Soccer since he was just turning 6. I always look to you and Elizabeth Foss as examples. Good Work!!
