That is just wonderful.
I hope that some of his "wonderfulness" rubbed off on you. I bet you are proud. I certainly would be.

That's really awesome Val. Your dad seems like a real inspiration, as was mine.



(oh...and if he's still into philanthropy...I'm considering starting a halfway house for 18-25yo women called "Iron Chef's Log Cabin"........)

Thanks for sharing that Val, your dad is a class act all the way. It isn't just Knoxville that could use more Pete Clausens.

Those are Jack Daniels commemoratives, I don't know what scale they were built to.
