Knuckle Ball Updates

I have been in Houston since Thursday working on meetings and further details for the July 31st Knuckle Ball. Its been an incredibly productive trip. Yesterday I had an interview on 1560 The Game, with morning personalities John and Lance. Thanks to them for helping promote the website, as they mentioned it more times than I could count. Immediately after, I went to KHOU, Channel 11, to do an interview with host of Good Day Houston and aneurysm survivor, Deborah Duncan. How beautfiul she is and what an incredible testimony of survival. Former teammate of Dad’s, Larry Dierker, and Methodist Neuroradiologist, Dr. Richard Klucznik, appeared on the show with me and did a fabulous job. The segment will run in the next few weeks, so stay tuned. Interviews were followed by meeting, after meeting, after meeting and by 9P I was exhausted, fell to sleep and back at it today. This event has been a long time coming, with a few hiccups along the way, but one thing is for sure – I promise to give you the best gala you have ever attended, all while raising those ever so needed funds for aneurysm research! You won’t want to miss this event!!!
