Happy Mother's Day!

As another Mother's Day winds down I'd be remissed if I failed to take the opportunity to publicly thank all the Moms that help make the Arapahoe Nation as great as it is.

Without some Moms pushing their husbands to join YGP (as mine did some 6 years ago), we'd not have the thriving group we have today. Out of the 13,000+ members we have, I'd dare say we'd cut that number by 75% if Moms were not behind the Dads, prodding and cajoling from the beginning.

And while Moms give the intial poke, it's many that continue to assist the Dads in the day to day membership. They remind them of meetings, make sure the vests are ready to go, rearrange schedules, teach Dads how to glue on patches, etc. Some Dads cannot function without Mom's assistance and for that I am grateful.

I owe much to my wife for all she has put up with over the years. From weekends without us to the glue globs on the dining room table to the shouts of "How-How" - she's been a major supporter and loves the special time I get to spend with the boys. To be honest, she's a little jealous.

So all you Dads, remember the Moms that pushed, poked and/or prodded you to join YGP, all their support and say "Thanks!" - and, oh, be sure to tell her "Happy Mother's Day!" from me...

How-How!
