Blockin' for Butch

One of Dad's friends, Joanne Neff Harroun, is chairperson for the Relay for Life, Luminaries Committee.  They are planning to light 60 luminaries (maybe more!) for Dad on Oct 16th during the event under "Blockin' for Butch".  The luminaries represent "10 yards" or a first down.  They will burn all night long as relay teams walk around the track around the football field.  The call has gone out to his St. Pat's High School Class of 1962, but I thought I'd promote it a bit on the blog as well.  

The plans are to have luminaries around the high school track in memory of someone lost to cancer, in honor of someone still fighting the battle, or a survivor.  A donation of $10 to the American Cancer Society will purchase one luminary.  You can send a check made out to the American Cancer Society directly to Joanne (address below).  We're looking for a "first down" for Dad, which would mean $600 in donations.

Check is on its way to Joanne - for Roger who will lick this and for my fabulous mom - who didn't!
