As you may or may not know Our buddy walked in this years Heart Walk for the Cure!
            Now being married to a cardiac nurse, this is something that I have supported (monetarily) for YEARS!
            But things being what they are, and gas being $3 a gallon the money isnt what it used to be.
            A very good friend of ours (Bubba) always said that the best part about being wealthy is that when he
            CANT be somewhere to help, his money CAN BE! So this years theme for me when I got to speak about
            the walk was, "If you cant walk, then BE A BUBBA!"
            So this year the WHOLE Hess clan walked. Charlie may not have bee the smallest or the youngest, but he
            was the ONLY child to tell everyone WHY he chose to walk this year!



                                 
                                    Charlie was up and ready before ANY of us, 6am and HE's ready to walk for
                                                                            GRAMPA!


                                        
                               Half way through and it got HOT!                   Finished and the family is about done IN!
