Rocket Boys Visit Wood Badge SR-1086

I had the honor of presenting the October Sky session for Wood Badge 1086 and got to meet and introduce one of the original Rocket Boys!!! Jimmie O'Dell Carroll (right) and his brother Jerry (left) came all the way from West Virginia to speak to our Wood Badge troop. These are two of the nicest people I have ever met and we just thoroughly enjoyed their visit. O'Dell loves to talk and tell stories and had some funny ones to share about his youth in Coalwood, West Virginia.

O'Dell, you get our vote as the best Rocket Boy ever! Homer may have written the stories but we all agree you are the most entertaining!

Looking forward to seeing you again. You made our weekend so special!!! Thank you so much for coming!!

Todd's Last Concert at UA

Todd plays last concert with the UA Symphony. They played a trumpet concerto and Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony which was just spectacular. I am really going to miss going to these concerts but hopefully he can continue to play with the Arkansas Philharmonic and maybe other groups.
