From Magee





Sandy

I've been trying to get this out for the blog with all that's going on
between work and the house...

I wanted to thank you and everyone that helped us meet the bank
requirement of having the house completed to a certain percentage. We
met the goal two weeks before we needed and it was enough to have them
grant us the extension needed.

I attached a couple pictures of the girls at the house at night (we made
them a bed on the floor so they can watch DVD's while we work), and a
picture of the stairs I tiled. We're almost done with the tile, septic
is done, almost all the fixtures are in, the island has a granite top
etc....All's that's left is to stain floors, all a bit more railing and
landscape.

Thanks again to all the parents and players that gave us a helping
hand...especially Mary who just kept showing up on the weekends, Rob
Wills who did the same when he already has so much going on and Dustin
who helped me run control wiring to commission the A/C system. We
couldn't have done it without the team!!!! We're looking forward to the
summer parties.

Magee

Magee and Family - it was the team's pleasure and good to have you back at workouts.

Thank You from Rob Wills

Hello everyone,

As most of you all know, my oldest brother, Ray, who lives in Oklahoma, was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. He underwent surgery last month to remove a portion of his colon. The doctors have also discovered tumors on his liver, intestines and lungs, which indicate that the cancer has spread. He has a very tough road ahead. In order to improve his living conditions while he is fighting this illness, my wife, Pat, opened an account to raise money to assist Ray in replacing his unhealthy 40 year old mobile home with a newer, healthier home. After I learned of my wife’s efforts, and of the donations the account received, I tried to personally thank everyone who donated to the fund. I know I must have missed some people which brings me to the purpose of this blog post.

On behalf of my brother, Pat and I want to thank you all from the bottom of hearts. Your generosity and support for someone you’ve never met is overwhelming and I can’t express how appreciative we are. I feel lucky to have people like you all in my life.

Rob

Girls in San Diego






Girls had a great time in San Diego. They called me while I was in LA for the ODP summit - I told them the only rules they had were: Stay up late and have fun!! Laura had a dance off with one of the players on San Diego University players on deck.

BOYS: I have set up a BOYS trip this Fall at USC...
