Tonight, we hosted the Josh Willingham Foundation Fundraiser at the Conference Center.
Josh is the left fielder for the Nationals. Now he's no where near as fabulous as Chipper Jones, but he is a really nice guy and pretty darn funny. He also had a great guest speaker at his event tonight, Mr. Gene Stallings. Coach Stallings is an EXCELLENT speaker. I could've listened to him tell stories all night. He mostly spoke about John Mark, or Johnny as he called him. He told one story of when he was going to introduce Johnny to Tom Landry. He said, "We went over it at least fifty times. I told him that we'd walk into the office and I'd say, Coach Landry I'd like you to meet my son, Johnny. Johnny, I'd like you to meet Coach Landry. And then, I want you to say, It's nice to meet you Coach Landry." He just knew they had it down pat. So they go in and he says, "Coach Landry, I'd like you to meet my son Johnny. Johnny, I'd like you to meet Coach Landry." Then, without missing a beat, Johnny said, "Hi Tom." Hil-arious.
You could tell he loved John Mark more than anything in the world. It was good stuff. Not enough to convert me to an AL fan, but definitely a Gene Stallings fan. He was awesome. Now, I'm going to prop up my feet because I just worked 13 hours and my back and feet are SCREAMING. Love to all! :0)
