The Jefferson Award Winner - KB Blanchard!!!

Tonight I was very proud to have attended the Jefferson Awards Banquet and Ceremony with my family. We celebrated Becky's birthday and how well Kevin is doing, but also celebrated KB's charity work before we all went to the Jefferson Awards. Before I burst, KB was one of the six local winners of the Jefferson Award. He was dressed up in his new suit and carried himself with maturity and grace as he mingled with Mayor Joe Riley and Chief Rusty Thomas as well as the other 53 nominees. We are so proud of KB and the charity work that he has done over the years. Please look at the pictures from this very exciting evening to the left. Kevin is doing great this week, jumping over hurdles and beaming with pride over KB's big accomplishment. Becky had a great birthday especially because she was able to share her day with KB and his big win.

Congratulations KB, I am so proud of you and so honored to be your cousin!!!

Wow! It was wonderful to check the blog today and read all of this great news with pictures that relate the whole story! Everyone is beaming and looks terrific! This is the beginning of the big uptick we've all been waiting for...nothing but a constant stream of good news from here on out!

Kevin and Becky, none of us can even imagine all that you've been through these past few months but you've handled it all with such dignity and grace and have helped to inspire so many people. Looks like KB is a real "chip off the old blocks"...you must be very proud!

KB, we knew the moment we met you a few years ago that you were a terrific guy...we're just happy that the rest of the community knows it now too! One question...what the heck is Joe Riley smiling about? Doesn't he realize his job is in jeopardy? Doesn't he know that, if there was an election tomorrow, "Mayor" KB Blanchard would jump right over him just like his Dad has jumped over hurdles?!

Blanchards, we're proud to call you our friends. God Bless!

Love,

Anne, George, Matt & Marc
