45: Garrett L. George, Trinity Oaks Volunteer

"I woke up at the hospital. I came to with a broken shoulder. The girls who found me, knew me, and they didn't recognize me. My buddy, the police officer, had tears in his eyes. All I could think about was my brother and I handling things." — Garrett L. GeorgeBy their own definition, Trinity Oaks uses hunting and fishing to give back and make a difference in the lives of others. That’s veterans, children of our fallen first responders and veterans, kids who have terminal illnesses, and the hungry. We’re going to get into all of this through one of Trinity Oaks’ volunteers, Garrett George. Garrett is doing some fantastic work through Trinity Oaks. But he comes from a troubled past. It’s been a long, difficult journey for him. Now, I will say, through Garrett’s journey, there have been some troubling tales, which he’s candid about in this interview. This show may not be right for young listeners for that reason. There’s not any language or anything like that—but there is a recounting of a tale from Garrett’s past that could be a little intense for kids. As always, please log time for listening to this show on GoWild and let me know what you thought of the show. Garrett, our guest, is on there so tag him. My hope is this show leaves you inspired and looking to give back in a new way.Trinity Oaks WebsiteKolby Video Part IKolby Video Part IILog Time for this Episode on GoWildShare your thoughts, support, or points of contention by logging time on GoWild.

Beyond the convention, you can experience some amazing entertainment, with performances from folks like Corey Morrow, Rickey Davis and Billboard chart-frequent flyer, Kevin Fowler.There are banquets and luncheons, auctions and more stuff than I possibly have time to tell you about right now. And as Joe said in his most recent interview, Houston is a great place to spend a weekend and grub.You know what the best part of all of this is?
