WBMGT 2014

After far too long, I'm back with three new photo sets, and enough photos to fill the days I missed.

This set is from this Year's Willie Byers Memorial Golf  Tournament. It's a golf tournament the Byers Family holds in memory of William F. Byers Sr. (Bill) and William F. Byers Jr. (Willie). My grandfather, and my uncle were both diagnosed with ALS, and we hold a tournament every year to benefit ALS Research, and provide Scholarship money to a Senior at Tewksbury High School.

you received a raffle ticket for a wheelbarrow full of wine.
