A special request - Non CH (Here I go again)

I am soliciting votes for my son Andy for Readers Digest ”Hero of the Year”. The article on him was in the December issue. Then I get the January issue and, damn, there he is as one of the 12 up for Hero of the Year. (The avalanche was in November, 2002.) He has been a true supporter to me ever since he was old enough to walk. When he was 3 he would give me his teddy bear for comfort, last summer he flew home from college to see me during my latest cycle just for a little “cheering up”. It didn’t do much for the CH’s but it sure was a shot in the arm for the ol’ attitude, which was getting pretty low.
Go to www.rd.com and click on the magazine cover. There will be a link to Everyday Heroes, click on it and scroll down. In the lower right corner is a picture of Andy titled “The Mountain Climber”.
Now I don’t want to influence voting but……vote for Andy.
Thanks and a very safe and PF New Year to you and your family.
Rick

Done...a very inspiring story. I shattered my knee cap last January. They removed most of it. I only have about a quarter size piece holding things together. The most painful thing in my life. Andy must have great strength and determination of will and spirit.
Bravo.

I did it. I think that I still have a couple more issues of RD coming to me left, so hopefully I'll get to see Andy being the Hero of the Year!

Done, AND I asked all of my mailing list members to vote as well (I run a security related mailing list)
Nothing wrong with tipping the scales a bit! As a good Republican, it's my duty, and if he doesn't win I'll get their asses in court for a recount!
