Sam was born and raised in West Virginia, lived in South Africa as a teenager, and returned to West Virginia for his (so-far) extensive adulthood.

It was at their home in the Appalachian hills where he told his children many stories, including some featuring heroic rabbits with swords.

Sam is a devoted Christian, a lifelong Mountaineer fan, and an enthusiast of sports, books, and humorous things.

OK!
Awesome job on the poster, Paul Boekell and the logo, Zach Franzen!
Charlotte? Why, cruel world? Why?
Just do it, Glenn!
No, seriously. Sounds incredible. What a great event! I pray it will bless many, many families.
Today I’m nervous that we won’t be able to determine if we can make it before it sells out. Because you know it will!
Easy. You CAN make it. 🙂
🙁 That’s not enough advance notice! We’re already traveling elsewhere that day. (And, technically, that is still before the end of the school year here in MD). Bummer. I guess we’ll plan to be there in 2015.
Bummer! I’m so sorry.
