Message from Justin

Hello Friends and Family,

Just got back from Puerto Rico!

Along with the NBA Cares Foundation, we joined with many of the retired NBA players now Legends and we fitted 150 kids in the San Juan area with new hearing aids! We also gave each child a new basketball and it was fun to see them go up to all the NBA players and ask for their autographs.

These kids radiated with hope as they can now hear and to see their confidence and self-esteem improve is a very satisfying/rewarding thing to see.

I've attached my favorite photo of a young boy who beamed with his new hearing. You can also click on the link below to see more pics.

Brandon and Shelby Wedding

We ran across this on the blogosphere and thought we'd pass the link along. (see bottom of the page to visit the original post and read it all.)

Brandon and Shelby got married on Wednesday and their reception was Friday night. "The whole setting was gorgeous, even though the torrential downpour at the beginning left all of us soaking wet and ducking for cover. Shelby's dress was gorgeous and she looked like an angel. Brandon was handsome as ever and they both looked so incredibly happy."

"LDC sang two numbers for them, Gentle Voice and When Love Came Down. . . Donny was running around getting the whole thing on video and the photographer who was shooting pictures at 40 beats a minute!"

"Donny was thrown in the pool while wearing his tux! . . . He proceeded to get out and throw his son's girlfriend in as well. She was such a good sport, climbing out in her black cocktail dress and high heels. "

Idaho town dedicates birthplace of Olive Osmond

The Associated Press • Published July 20, 2008

Residents of the tiny town of Samaria on Saturday dedicated the reconstructed cabin where Olive Osmond was born in 1925. She died in 2004.

The third oldest of Olive's children, 59-year-old Alan Osmond, took part in the dedication and served as grand marshal for a parade that was part of the dedication ceremony.

Alan Osmond thanked area residents and says it's an honor for the family to be a part of the community's history.

The cabin was built in 1869 and officials say it is the oldest standing structure in Samaria.
