Here is an e-mail about my son Lane that our district Athletic Director sent out today to the whole district staff regarding an event a few days back that made me as proud as I could be. I am still beaming about this and how he did something many people wouldn't have even thought of ever doing let alone an 18 year old high school kid. How kids can make you proud when you least expect it! “Last night the Ogden Wrestling team wrestled Iowa Falls and Humboldt in Humboldt. Humboldt has a senior who is a Downs Syndrome child. He has been out for football and wrestling and they wanted to know if we had anyone who would wrestle with him. Their coaches said he really just wants to roll around on the mat. He has no skill and you could easily pin him in seconds. I am very proud to say Lane B. said he would do this. They wrestled for the full 6 min. Lane allowed him to score points and technically beat him. I have to tell you it was one of the most moving moments I have ever witnessed. This young man had his hand raised as the winner. In fact there were two winners, Lane B. and this young man both.
We often times wonder about Character, and what our kids can demonstrate to others. Both these kids got a standing ovation and not very many dry eyes in the gym. When the official raised this young mans hand he looked and said "I WON"????? I'm proud that Lane is a part of the Ogden program. I'm proud that he made a difference in this young man’s life yesterday. I'm proud to not only nominate him for our Number 1 Club but I hope you are as well. It was a very proud moment for all Ogden Fans last night.
Character really does count. I'm trying to get the video that this boy’s parents were taking so I can share it with all of you. Brian R., Athletic Director”

On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
