    Default Kids grow up


    Just a few days ago he was little. Today he made Eagle Scout. Proud of the kid. Even more humbled by all the people that have had a hand in keeping this kid on the right path. Lots of quality family, friend, an impressive string of teachers, a male bus driver that was his best friend for 3 years of middle school, fishing guys from the internet, Military, Police, and Game Wardens that allow us to play and not worry about the world. So many more.........I could right a book about being Blessed, but nobody would believe it.

    Thanks guys.

    As an example. Middle of nowhere public high school. Driver's Ed training. Brought in a crashed car. Beer cans still inside. Simulated victims. Fire and EMS cut this car apart to get the victims out. The young intoxicated driver survived to go to jail. Yep, he got a sobriety test and then cuffed. Watched his friends get worked on by EMS and real nurses volunteering there time. Most of them got zipped up in body bags while he watched. VA State Police Med Flight landed in the baseball field and came to assist. That officer was his School Resource Officer. A good guy with a belt full of tools to be used for good. He invited Dayton to come on a ride along when he turns 18 next month. Don't let the tv fool you. Our world is full of people doing great things.

    Thanks for the post Dayton. Some people won't believe this but I remember the last time I saw him he was even shorter than you. Seriously tho it is really refreshing to read about the good some people do in our mixed up country.

    You did a real good job, I see you give a lot of credit to the community but it had to start at home. My boss used to give me resumes to look at when she was hiring engineers. I always passed over the education and experience parts, looked for one of two things, Eagle Scout or former Marine both signs of true commitment.

    Great perspective, Dayton. Maybe you are close to getting something figured out...
