You know as many times as I have heard the Hoyt's story, I never get tired of it. Seeing "ricks dad" (to avoid the censor) pulling him in the boat at Kona always gets to me.
thanks again, I needed that pick me up.

I love the Hoyts' story, and I learned some new details today. Thanks so much for posting it. When I get discouraged with my own meager limitations, I'll remember Rick and his dad, and over come that which I think holds me back! Very inspiring.
