Congratulations HB

Congratulations HB...I had the pleasure of meeting you recently. You have a great hospitality for people (even if they do just show up on your doorstep). It looks as if you have a long history for the sports in the DR & your award is well earned.
Elaine :)

Main Girl's enthusiasm has run amok...While I do appreciate the good wishes, the ceremony is for the Santiago Sports Hall of Fame, not the Dominican Republic's HOF...I wish!!

However, I am indeed pleased with the recognition, that is for sure. And your good wishes are quite welcome.

Thanks all.

Luis
