An individual making a difference. Congrats and a Thank You!

Glad to see someone working so hard to battle such an ugly problem.

An unfortunate need. Thank you!

I've heard him speak. Impressive. Had no idea he was related.

Glad you shared this with us. Wonderful story. The man has certainly left his mark on the world.

IIRC he used to live down the street from my grandparents in Reno Beach. Is that correct RR? I had no idea you were related.

Yep, small world Mike. My Mom and his Mom are sisters, born exactly one year apart, my Mom first.

Congrats for you and your family. If his last name is Wilbarger and they lived in Reno Beach, did he go to Clay High. Didn't read the entire article to see if that was mentioned. I do remember some Wilbargers at Clay. I'll have to pull the yearbook out. I believe there was also a teacher named Wilbarger at Clay.

Yes, Clay grads -- cousins Brenda, David, and Jeff Wilbarger.
