I have had the pleasure of meeting the Hoyts on more than one occasion, and I have to tell you it is a very humbling experience. Mr. Hoyt just shrugs his shoulders and smiles when you compliment him on all of his accomplishments, Rick on the other hand will get out his keypad and tell you many stories about each and every event they have ever done. These days when I fall coming down the stairs, or in the yard, or on my bike I always think of the Hoyts and I stop feeling sorry for myself and my shell of a body. If Mr. Hoyt can do it so can I!!!!!!!!!!

Great story, I'm thinking of sharing it with the disabled guys I work with - will sleep on it, as I don't want to underscore the lack of dad-ness they have in their own lives.

I couldn't stop my tears... It's nice to hear such a beautiful and inspiring story in this cruel world.
