Grandson scores two Silver Medals

Way to go that is great! Competition knows no bounds.

Great job. And a great chant: “Let’s Go Carlo!”

Carlo's motto: "powering through - excuse my dust!"

Thanks everyone.

At first, we had sorrow and great reservation about Carlo and what might become of him in future life. Being born with a back and legs as screwed up as Carlo's compels pretty devastating first impression.

As the years have passed, we have watched and learned how that drive and motivation of the inner self makes the person ... no matter the outward appearances and limitations. It's impressive to witness.

Carlo called me a while back wanting to know about guitars. He expresses an interest to learn to play. He stated an intent to earn money to get one. I told him that I would match whatever he came up with (in $$$) and we could make it a somewhat better instrument than what he might afford on his own.

It hasn't happened yet. I'm realizing I have a guitar in my music room. One I had bought for my Son JC several years ago. He has lost interest in guitars, after all he is a drummer not a strummer. JC is also a Carlo fan and just might give me permission to pass that guitar forward to Carlo.
