Pinboy. Not a great pic of me, but I'm with a great group [View all]

Not a great pic of me, but I'm with a great group

I'm at far right with a group of high school students who have raised more than $160,000 (so far) to build a new home for a local wounded warrior. This pic was taken at the property, in front of the existing house that will be remodeled as a caregivers' home. Groundbreaking for the new home for the wounded warrior will be held soon. I'm proud to know this great bunch of young people!

Bravo Pinboy.
