Thanks so much for sharing that story.

It's funny - I can remember being 16 and my stepdad-to-be being surprised 
that my friends and myself were actually decent kids who studied, played 
sports, worked and lived an essentially trouble-free life. He said that since 
all his children were grown, all he saw on the TV or heard on the radio were 
stories about kids in trouble and he didn't realize that they were the 
minority, not the majority.  I suspect that's even more true for many people 
20+ years later (wow - over 20 years).  

It's great to see the community jump in to help a 16 year old achieve his 
goal and ever better to see the newspaper pick up on it.

Phil, yourself and everyone else involved deserves a hearty congratulations 
for a job well done!
