1993 VICA Indiana State Drafting Champ. :D Went to Louisville, KY for Nationals I didn't do very good there. :(

Man that seems like forever ago. :o I won 2 scholarships and a bunch of other things. I won the scholarship the day before I was going to take my physical to join the Navy. I was only going to the Navy so they would pay for College and I won a scholarship so I ended up not joining. :)


Congrats by the way.:D
