See Dick Run

Good morning to all you wonderful Winter Texans who soon will be going back to your summer homes. We are going to miss you. Let me first of all thank you for setting such a good example for me to follow. Thanks to you who volunteer to tutor in our public schools, I decided to follow your example.
