In the quiet of the morning it is easy to reflect on what there is to be thankful for. It is amazing when you begin taking stock of those things that have blessed you over the course of your life and just how many people have contributed to those blessings. Obviously too many to list here. It seems insufficient to just recognize the term family. Family takes on too broad of a meaning. My family consists of my blood, my legal, my acquired, my work, my church, etc... All of which hold a place that is sacred. I would be a lost and hopeless soul without each and every one. If you wonder if you are on the list, be certain that you are. Specifically, thanks to Mary Jo Etters for the herculean task of putting up with me all of these years, it must be love. Chris Etters, my greatest achievement, who has more talent in his little finger than I have in my whole body. Mitzie Etters DeAloia who has been my rock solid supporter my entire life and someone whose generosity and compassion has served as a role model since I was born. Marty Murdaugh not just a friend, a true friend that will forever be my brother. The Bedenbaugh clan, the family that raised me after the death of my parents and has been there like blood. Bob Horton who believed he saw potential in this broke kid so many years ago and pushed me into going farther in business than I could imagine. Willis Blume, gone but never forgotten, he gave me the chance to live out a dream, but more importantly he gave me lifelong brothers: Mike BedenbaughVic White, Ron Glancy, Jeff Langston, Mark Anthony Brooker, Willis Blume Jr., Mike Amos. There are literally hundreds if not thousands more. God has blessed me beyond anything that I deserve, so yes, I am thankful. Not only today but everyday.
