Default Ryans Brick

Hi All,

I haven't been able to be around much, but wanted to let everyone know Ryan's brick is finished. I emailed the pic to Deb, so hopefully she will jump in here soon and post the pic of it.

Also, for the Annual Ryan Salmons Memorial Golf Outing that was at the end of July, over $12,000 was raised for his foundation and Brad, his father, has already begun sending cancer kids and their families to various events.

The annual Corvette show Mark Thomas and the Capital City Corvette Club put on each year donates their proceeds to Nationwide Childrens Hospital here in Columbus each year. As many of you may remember, that's where Ryan was treated. This year they donated the proceeds in Ryan's name. Super classy thing to do.

Sorry for the lateness on these updates, been a rough run lately.

Mike

Oh yeah, one other thing. Those of you that don't know Mark Thomas, should. He is a heck of a guy and would do anything for anybody. Mark is having knee replacement surgery Sept 28th. Wish him a speedy recovery.

Thanks for being my friend Mark, and let me know if you need anything from me during your recovery, say like maybe keeping the fluids in your Vette warm

Thanks for the kind words Mike and your friendship. I just try to treat others the same way I would like to be treated.
