Keep up the good work!
August 27, 2021: "Although Aleise had an old injury flare up on day one, she told me she had a lot of fun, and learned many new things about the game of volleyball. Ever since she hasn't missed a day of asking Dad to join her for some pepper outside after dinner. As a high school volleyball coach, it is sweet music to my ears. Thanks for all you, and keep up the good work!"
