Special Note from Bob:
Hello family and friends,
I just wanted to take this
time say Thank you to everyone who supported me
over the years with my US rugby and wheelchair
rugby endeavors in general.
I did want you to know
that I did not get selected to the US Paralympic
team for 2008. I have had this Paralympic
experience before and it is times like this that
I feel thankful for that opportunity. I will
still continue to play wheelchair rugby for
Lakeshore Foundation and I will again tryout
again for US Paralympic teams if asked.
Again, thank you for all
the support and continued support. It is greatly
appreciated!
love,
Bob |
