lets_go_bills Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 That's noble and respectable. Only good can come from underprivileged kids getting a chance to see a live pro game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 That's noble and respectable. Only good can come from underprivileged kids getting a chance to see a live pro game. We have done it as a family for the last 3 or 4 seasons. The kids donate part of their chore money to it. They thought of it--I deserve no credit. Can't take it with you...might as well do some good--even during these very difficult times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we seem to hear in Rochester is how 14 year olds are shooting people and getting arrested. Maybe there is hope for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Joe, that's a great thing to do. Share the suffering...it'll do the little bastards good! It worked for us--didn't it Dean? All those mostly dreadful years in the late 60's, mid-late 70's and early 80's built us into the cynical bastards we are today..... 50th anniversary of mostly pain and suffering with about a decade and a half of hope --- How's that for a theme...
