Another reason why my dad is one of my heros

Good men are hard to find.  Great men are even harder.  Maybe I'm biased, but my dad is one of those great men for many reasons, but I'll share just one for now.

For the second year, he donated his time on his boat to help with the Squam Lake Adaptive Program.  It's a weekly program of waterskiing geared toward people with all types of disabilities.  My dad has terrible knees & a terrible back, plus he can't swim at all, yet he puts all that aside to help other people experience what he has been lucky enough to.  I hope he doesn't mind, but here's his two cents...

"Last year and yesterday, I’ve seen many challenged individuals have smiles, including
wounded warriors, those missing legs or arms, deformations, paraplegics, blind, mentally retarded,
etc., when pushing their limits, experiencing what life has to offer others."

And just to show you what I'm talking about, here's a video about the program...


My dad is just an amazing person, and I'm so lucky to be his daughter.
