Congratulations Rick and Here’s Your Reward!
Rick's Special Day
Special congratulations go out to Rick Atkinson for scoring a perfect 100% on his state hunting exam. We knew Rick was prepared but we didn’t know he was up at 3 in the morning on the day of the test studying. He is just one example of what outdoor opportunites can do for children. We planned a special trip for Rick and took him Shad fishing with professional guide Ken Koury on the Delaware River. Mr. Groover said it best “how many kids score a perfect 100 on their HTE test and then catch shad in the very same day?”
A MEMORABLE EVENT!
