Jessica and Jamie's day in the sun was truly a magical moment! As I reflect on the renewing of my daughters vows, the thing that stands out in my mind were the people who pulled together to execute the flawless ceremony plus the various festivities that surrounded the main event.
Thanks to one and all -------you were super!
Now I need to make sure that the same "magic" takes place with the Lori Piestewa National Native American Games! I'm confident that it will!

"Mixed bag !"
Let's not forget the true meaning of the fourth of July! The weekend was full of amazing accomplishments: Wimbledon, Tiger Woods, and all the rest of the fireworks!
How lucky we are to live in a country where freedom rings!

"The Crowning Jewel!"
The eighth annual Lori Piestewa National Native American Games are fast approaching! The "crowning jewel" to our year round format is the largest event of it's kind in the country!
I have become very close with Lori's parents ,Terry and Percy, and Lori's children Brandon and Carla. Thus the overwhelming responsibility to represent the family with great Competition, Presentation , and Hospitality is paramount!
This will happen! I've promised them and I promise you, we will do our best!

"The toughest player I ever coached!"
Saturday night I received a call informing me that a former player I coached, a groomsman in our wedding, and a dear friend had committed suicide. A tragic ending without any apparent warning.
I was very distraught and could only feel after being told that other than his father, I was on the top of a list as most influential people in his life, I believe I could have saved him if I had known.
Good bye my friend....
