I remember we had the soap box derby. They basically gave you a small block of wood, and you had to make it into a car and race it on a ramp.
All the other guys made cars. I decided to make mine as a covered wagon type thing, with wheels, and little plastic horses on the front.
I got third out of about ten guys, but got the most creative and best design awards!
My parents were so proud. Brings tears to my eyes.
Mom, dad, I love ya and miss ya!
They still race the Pinewood Derby cars today! And the Raingutter Regatta (little wooden sailboats)
In Boy Scouts I'm an advisor. I help guide the young men, but they make the decisions. I just supervise and offer suggestions on how to accomplsh their objectives.
I'm also am a merit badge counselor.

Brings tears to my eyes too. Bad on you for making me cry!
