Along with Dr. Tunnell's instruction, the new GR mouthpiece, and practice, practice, practice, I have made tremendous strides this semester in all aspects of my playing.  I recently did an acapella performance of My Old Kentucky Home on the floor of the State House and State Senate and received much praise from my state legislator's and their constituents who were present.  According to my dad who was present, many grown men and women were moved to tears.  I also earned an 'A'  (what a relief) on my college jury.

Patrick has been invited to be a special guest at the 2007 ESPY Awards   http://espn.go.com/espy2007/#   show at the Kodak Theatre  http://www.kodaktheatre.com/profile.htm  in Hollywood, California.  This is another huge honor for Patrick and it should be a very exciting night for him and we encourage everyone to tune in on Sunday, July 15th, at 9 p.m. ET  when the show airs on ESPN.  As you may remember, the piece ESPN did about Patrick which aired many times during the past college football season was nominated for an Emmy Award.
