James Grider

[arlskipshot1]

Manny, a lot of the older guys out there would like to know what's going on with Mike and Nolan's dad, James. He's in the hospital and as I understand it, he's not doing well.
I first met James there at Fritz back in '90. He was a decent player and he had two kids that were out there trying to hustle those of us that didn't know them too well. Nolan was a little punk and his big brother was the one that could out throw everybody in the park. Nolan didn't like that and before long the two of them were top notch Pros and their dad has always been very proud of them as well he should be.
All our thoughts are with Nelda and the rest of the clan as we pull for the big guy to shake it off. You are loved by many.

Thanks for the info Skip - I will let the Fritz Family know about Papa Grider. Our prayers will be with The Griders.

You mention Nolan at a young age - When I first started playing in the early 90's Nolan walked up to me and My buddy Big Mike and says "My Mom and I will play you guys for a buck each". We saw no harm in this so we played them and needless to say We never played them for a buck again. :D
