Joining us now on the Express Pro Tire and Auto Guestline, Musings of an old sports writer on Substack is the name of the column for Bob Cravitz, which continues to grow.

And Bob, I want to begin with this.

I think sometimes in life when we have setbacks or adversity or negatives that come our way, you've got two choices.

One is to dwell on it. The other

is to try to turn it into something positive. You did exactly that when your mother was, you know,

hit by a dreaded disease and it impacted your family. And yesterday, in what continues to grow as

well, your annual golf outing, where you raised more than just a couple bucks, right?

We did.

We raised more than beyond our goal.

We raised almost $80,000.

And, yeah, like you say, it continues to grow.

We had a great day, great weather, great conditions. I can't thank the organizers

enough, the volunteers, the golfers, the celebrities. It was great. Gene Katie got there really

early, and he got there when I got there. It was great. Now, we sat and talked for a good half hour.

He couldn't have been nicer to everybody. So, yeah, we raised good money for a good cause,

and I like to think my mom would be pretty proud of what we did. And that cause, by the way,

is the continued battle against ALS, correct? It is. All the funds go to ALS Association, goes toward finding a cure for something that they haven't found

a cure for in over 100 years.

And it goes for helping those afflicted with ALS, with, you know, carts, with wheelchairs, with different kinds of

stuff that they can use to make their lives a little easier.

Bob, let's get into, and congratulations on that yesterday.

Thank you.
