    Such an Outstanding way to recognize the ‘good characterization” our young men and women in a society that seems to only focus on the bad. There is still very much hope in those who follow in our foot steps. Congratulations to all, but especially my #1 grandson Elias Ray. I will post this link on my FB page.
