[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

It is time for me to do a little bragging about our son, Mark, Jr., who is a senior at Roy C. Start H.S. Last week he was by Ohio Northern University to swim and play baseball next year as well as major in mechanical engineering; he was awarded a Dean of Engineering Scholarship and is a finalist for a President's Scholarship. Next month he goes through his interviews for a U.S. Air Force ROTC Scholarship.

BUT today, Junior officiated his first ever basketball games. We officiated a girls' jr. H.S. doubleheader today. Not only did he look the part (meaning he is better looking that his 'old man' he did a pretty good job for the first time out of the gate. I am so proud of him. Of course he is one tired boy right now after having to carry his 'old man' for two games.

Next week we have a boys' jr. H.S. doubleheader. I can't wait for next week.
