  That's my boy!  Apprentice of the Year (paint)


The new poster-child,  looks pretty bad-azz huh?

The Secretary of State of Mississippi was there and made a special mention of my sons hard work, working 7 days a week to take care of his household of six. Putting his wife through nursing school, two kids and two nieces that he took in. And going to class after work to complete his own training.
  At the reception afterwards I walked over to thank him and the kids came up and we grabbed a few pics.  He took his SoS pin off and gave it to my granddaughter. Heck of a nice guy.

  Daughter-in-law passed her State boards on Wed.,  now she's an Official RN!
The family minus one (playing ball in Florida)

Just got around to reading this thread and glad I did.  You have every reason to be proud of that young man and his entire family.  Dad must of done a fine job of raising him!  Please pass on my congratulations.

[nailbender]

  Thanks guys.  I am super-proud of them. He was a little overwhelmed with all the attention. Got interviewed by three area papers.  In his words" Just doing what I need to do to take care of my family, no different than anyone else".

  Thanks guys.  I am super-proud of them.

As you should be. 

"Just doing what I need to do to take care of my family, no different than anyone else".

In this day and age he is different from a large segment of our society. God bless him.
