    Nice, nice story, Bill. Thanks. I hope the kid makes it and is able to help his mother, who obviously has a huge heart.

    Interesting story, I'm not sure I understand the Visa problems though. There are a lot of foreign athletes on college scholarships in the US, in some sports like Tennis especially they dominate the sport. Baylor's whole Tennis team is foreigners, and Arkansas dominated college track with foreigners. There are a lot of foreign college golfers as well.

    Good luck to him, it's certainly a big opportunity to escape the bleak future he would have had in Hati. Maybe his story will turn out as well as the Penn State DL Tamba Ali (I think that was his name).
