A H.U.G.E. Thank you to JOHN DAVIS !

Our year in California was colored by many things. We were thrilled by the beauty of the state, the groundedness of the people and frankly the spectacular vision of big sky. We are NW fold through and through, but oh how nice it was to be with our family and a kinder welcome we couldn't have had. Allow me to share part of it that was a stunner. Adam finished his Junior year in track with remarkable progress here in WA. As we hit our stride in CA Adam was achieving his goals quickly and successfully. A facebook page with a family of throwers invited him to join them. He found a 'throwing family' and soon a volunteer coach. Yes, you heard me correctly. A VOLUNTEER coach. And THIS was him. See photos above He offered his time, his home gym and came to coach at all of the meets. Just a magnificent gift!John Davis loves this sport so much he offered his time voluntarily to the Empire Throwers and kindly to Adam. Adam was succeeded in breaking the Windsor High School record for shot put. He won the Twilight Classic, The Viking Classic and the Redwood Empire and remained the North Coast Section leader throughout all the competition. He placed 1st in the regular season and qualified at the "Meet of Champions" and to the State Tournament at U.C. Berkeley. He also set the record at Windsor High School. Adam was also able to secure a full scholarship to Utah Valley University for track and field. What a blessing it was to know John and to have his wisdom through the whole experience. Thank you John!
