We gathered anyone who wanted to play pick up games in all 4 major sports from ages 10-50... age didn't matter for us in a small town, we needed bodies more than anything.  When I wasn't with my friends, I was pretty much living in the woods, with my dad, who was a Sportsman and Logger by profession (Fishing, hunting, trapping, working, etc). We were raised to be respectable individuals in our community, dependable, everyone looking out for each other, and knowing if you screwed up, your parents would find out.  It was different times back then... I often think back to the simplicity of life from those days, and everytime I return to my hometown, those memories flood my mind even more, and feel blessed of my upbringing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
