                     The paperback tour is now over. Thanks to all of you who came out to meet me and hear the story of the “country boy who could hit the ball a country mile.” It was truly my pleasure and I am so grateful for the powerful show of support. Thank you. 
                    Please check the events page often. I will be speaking in Peoria, IL next week, in Anaheim, CA and Naperville and Chicago, IL in June. Please come out and say hi! 
                    I may have mentioned before that this summer I will be marching with the Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps Alumni Group (CAC888) in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are a competitive music and marching organization with members aging from 16-21. Our Alumni Corps has members from 26 to 75! I am playing in the snare drum line and am having a ball! We will make 4 performances this summer with the culmination of all the efforts being our final appearance at semifinals of Drum Corps International (DCI) Championships in Indianapolis. I am marching with guys I have not seen in 35 years. If you are in the area I hope you will come out and see the corps this summer! 
                    In the meantime, keep talking up the book! 
                    Warmest Regards, 
                    Gary
