I want to express my gratitude to my hometown and the city of Greenville, Texas, for the case display at the Hunt County Historical Center. I apologize for not being able to attend, and I appreciate my family for their support. I am truly thankful to God for allowing me to pursue my dreams and now have the opportunity to coach young men as they strive to achieve theirs.
