Thanks and travels

I went on over to St Louis to attend a Hall of Fame function for my old school — Ritenour High School. Several outstanding individuals were inducted into the Ritenour Hall of Fame that night but I was there for the honor being given to the Grubbs family.

I want to thank the group at www.wired2fish.com for inviting me to Bloomington/Normal, Ill., last week. Had a good visit with them and then the opportunity to speak at a meeting of the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation with some of The Bass Federation guys, as well. Wired2Fish then wrote a great article about what I’m trying to accomplish at this point in life.

After that, I went on over to St Louis to attend a Hall of Fame function for my old school — Ritenour High School. Several outstanding individuals were inducted into the Ritenour Hall of Fame that night but I was there for the honor being given to an entire family — the Grubbs Family.

I grew up with several of the Grubbs brothers and cousins in the ’50s, and they single-handedly brought the sport of wrestling to high schools in Missouri. There were about 20 kids in the whole family and rumor has it that one time … one of them was actually defeated in a wrestling match. But that was only a rumor.
