On A Roll
I had the extreme pleasure of spending the better part of the day today up close and personal with this character. And what a character he is. An absolute NUT. One of the funniest guys I've ever met, as well as being extremely down to earth, gracious, and outgoing. He took the time to talk to whoever stopped by, rode in the race, chatted with the kids on hand in their wheelchairs, and stood patiently for photos and autographs. His official website can be found here. To get a taste for the craziness I endured today, watch the commercial....
With his over the top antics as MC and auctioneer at the charity event I hosted today at Oregon Ridge Park, we raised nearly $200,000 for our cause - our first event!
I'm reposting my brother's comment without all the identifying info: Dufus.
Sis -I'm sorry we missed it, but thanks for the call. I never thought we would actually get to speak with the one and only Bobke! That was a real treat on an otherwise gloomy day here in PA. As you could tell D. is just crazy about the guy. How could you not like him, unless you were trying to get some sleep or perform delicate brain surgery?
