Spotlight on Tristan Packard

This is Tristan Packard.  My first born grand child.  His father is my son, Chad.  Tristan is 14 years old and this is a picture taken just a week ago at his graduation into High School.

Tristan has worked very hard to perfect his baseball skills, particularly  PITCHING and BATTING.  Tristan was notified just tonite that he was voted by fellow team mates and league coaches to the all prestigous ALL-STAR TEAM--in this league that he is in, is the 14 to 16 year olds and he is one of the youngest players in the league--I tried to make it to most of his games to watch him pitch and hit.  In most of the games that he pitched, he struck out 2 batters in most innings and held the other team scoreless most of the time.  He also cranked many long hits and scored many runs.  Tristan is certainly to be admired and is a great example for all my other grand kids.

Tristan has started "hell week" this week for high school football.  He is on a wieght lifting program and conditioning and  working out with the quarterbacks.  This is a little different for us Packards, usually we are on the linemen.  I sure hope he excells and enjoys football and baseball in high school.
