 Reid and 14 month old Satin
Great class at Lone Star Park with 6 full time attendees and a young couple that attended only a portion of the class. Thanks to Chaplain Sam Spence and Assistant Chaplain Eddie Rodriguez for their help in promoting the class and providing the classroom space. The Lone Star Park Racing office, especially Jackie Morgan, provided practice materials and helped with copies when needed. This week I am in Louisiana for meetings regarding the next step in preparation for initiation of Second Chances High School Groom Elite at Jetson Center for Youth correctional facility near Baton Rouge, La. On Thursday I'll give assessment exams to 14 high school students in the Opelousas Transitional High School Groom Elite program taught by certified GE instructor Brent Fontenot. Along with all this activity I'll get in some visiting with Mom, oldest son, daughter, their spouses and my five grandkids.

Don't forget the Early Bird deadline for Southern California TExP class. I have extended that deadline another week, so REGISTER BY MAY 22nd and save $50 - see link below.
