2I have an 18 year old son, Michael, who's been a great athlete. Last year he made all conference 1st team in baseball and was his team's MVP. He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies and the Red Sox. He is currently enrolled at Central Florida Community College in Ocala on full scholarship. He red-shirted this year because of sholder surgery on his pitching arm. He's a lefty thowing 90 mph and should do very well next year. You can probably tell I'm a little proud. Sorry I can't make it this time. I'll be in Miami on business. Hope you're doing well and everyone has a great time at the reunion.
