It’s an old cliche we coaches have used as a player motivator, “When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going”. No one knows that better than “Stone”(Clayton). Becky and I have enjoyed our tailgating with Clayton and friends. The Michigan and Chattanooga games last year were especially fun times. And, it’s always great to win. Clayton told me the other day, “I’ll see you at LSU”. I will see to it that he does. Uncle Paul #52 ASU ‘63.

Rob,
Oh my goodness! That was such an awsome testimonial to my husband. You pretty much summed it up when you described him. He is the most unconditional friend, husband, father, son and brother that anyone could ever imagine. I would truely rather be with him than anyone else in the world. (except Jon Bon Jovi) just joking ofcourse. He is my Rock and is to many other people too. It will be very hard to see him sick but I know if anyone can beat this, it is him. His faith is as solid as a rock also. It’s definately what’s getting us all through this right now. The website is so touching and everyone loves it. Thank you for all your hard work, support and prayers. Give Amy and the kids a big hug for me. Don’t worry, I’ll have him back in his “rare form” by opening date.
God Bless,
Paege

J Rod took the words out of my mouth…..AWESOME…..and I was there with Clayton on the plane…. you got it right with the “announcement”….that was an experience I will never forget…..and as you know, there are many other stories that follow the Michigan and Chatanooga trips….and Im looking forward to many more memories…..as you know, Clayton is the glue or “catalyst” in our little group… he/we need to get through this so we can continue the traditon at the Rock and the “road trips”down the road…look foward to seeing you in the fall…SJS

Wow, that just brought a few tears to my eyes. A perfect example of why Boone and Appalachian St. are such wonderful places that will always be dear to my heart. You don’t find this kind of compassion anywhere else. I don’t miss living in NC so much, but I do miss living in Boone.
My prayers are with your friend. May he beat this opponent the same way he loves watching the Mountaineers do the same!
