The past several days have been extremely difficult for the Auberry family, Troop 230, Irving Park United Methodist Church and the whole Scouting family. We hoped and prayed as rescuers searched diligently for Michael. Needless to say, when we received word that he was found, we all shared a collective sigh of relief and were thankful.
The Boy Scouts of America thanks everyone in the local community, from the National Park Service, law enforcement and church leaders to local volunteers and the media, who showed great concern, unconditional support, and perseverance during this trying ordeal. This spirit of determination led to the ending we all prayed for: a healthy young Scout back in the arms of his loving parents and his friends in Troop 230.

Roy,
Sorry the heels bowed out before the final four. I think if you'd stressed taking the ball to the hoop you would have won the game. Georgetown had so many players with four fouls that layups would have either been clear or foul shots would have won for you.
As to Michael Auberry, go up a few threads and read what our "Village Idiot" neocon, said about him. As my good friend, Jeff, always says, "There's no law against being stupid" and neocon proves it.
Take care, and I'll see you over at the Governor's Club Course next month.
