But to actually have it bad and fight on with strength is a true display of good character. Another manifestation of that is to engage when it might have been easier to avert your eye. That is what Todd did here. He not only talked to this man, he listened. He listened with his heart and brought us this great story. Thanks, Todd.

He was an amazing story teller and like Donnie said - he was full of kindness and wisdom. I was lucky enough to shake Buck's hand that day and he even signed a ball for me - it is one of my most prized possessions.
