Special thanks to Bob and Glenna Uecker, the owners of Capt. Rick's (the fishing boats we use) for their generous support and organizing the boat charters. They provide us with a discount on the boat costs, which helps reduce the cost of the trip fee you guys pay. Bob and Glenna also allow us (donate) extra fishingme. Many thanks as well to the boat captains who donate extra fishing me to the tournament, sop them well.
Thank you to Ken Shipp for obtaining addional contribuons for Melanoma research through partnerships with others that also fight for a cure. His father was also taken by Melanoma Cancer. He was young (33), with a wife and small children (7, 4, 2 years old). He worked outside as a maintenance person, painter,carpenter—always in the sun. The disease also took his grandfather’s and great-grandfather’s lives. I get my checkup each year even though they assure me the half life of melanoma for heredity acquision is prey quick, i.e. it diminishes by 50% with each generaon.
Capt Rick's also does a lot of charity work locally in PA. They have donated significant me and revenue to the area and have most recently built a sports complex in the poblado. They sponsor local sports teams (men & women), including baseball, soball and soccer. They have asked that we bring down any new or slightly used baseball, soball and soccer items such as gloves, bats, helmets and shoes, etc. So check your closet, garage, ask some friends or neighbors to see what you can find to help.
On behalf of the enre group, sincere thanks to the Harris brothers— Don, Dan, and Daryl—for making each of us part of this trip/cause/family. A special thanks to Donfor all of his hard work and commitment to making our five days together fun, affordable, and charitable. The planning process starts six months in advance, but all we have to do is stroke a check and get on a flight— Don has prey much taken care of everything else. Don—A job well done!
Item of note - When in Mexico, Don will revert to his official Mexican name, "El Jefe".
If you are wondering how your me is going to be spent in Mexico I have put together a simple graph for assistance. (see right)
