Thanks for coverage

I just wanted to say thank you to Keith and Adam for the great story and wonderful pictures in this Sunday's Southeast Missourian about the lawn mower racing at the Patton Saddle Club. My phone has been ringing off the wall about the story. These events would not be possible without the dedicated support from everyone in the Patton Lions Club, Kenny Hoxworth and his wife Gloria, the many racers, our very special North County Bollinger Rescue Unit and, of course, all the people who come to the races to support us all.

Thanks again for the great coverage, and Adam and Keith, my offer to become a Lion is still open.

JOHN F. PRESTON, president, Patton Lions Club, Patton, Mo.
