I enjoy baseball and keep the scoreboard and all the stats for the baseball games., I also started a Brain Injury Support Group in 1999 and continue to work with this group monthly. The group became so large it is now run by Western Kentucky University., I enjoy spending time with my family fishing, camping, sporting events, and watching my granddaughters.
