It's such a great story.  With all the drama and trauma in the world, it definitely gives you a smile.

[BigDingus]

Wow, that's incredible!

 

Imagine being an 8 year old kid, seeing a flyer & deciding to reach out to one of these programs. That took a lot of strength & maturity for someone so young. I work with elementary school kids, and many would never put themselves out there like that.

 

Ray was a brave kid, and that's so awesome things worked out the way they did.

The lack of objectivity and the negativity and sensationalism in today's media is often unbearable. It's nice to see a story like this.

 

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for this.  Such a great story that it's a shame it's buried on network news.

CBS News always has positive stories in the last 10 minutes or so of their nightly news, so I frequently flip there to see that part of the news which is why I caught the original airing of the piece on Davis.

Such a hard thing to go through as a kid and damn what a hell of a program - all to often kids that don't have that role model or guidance things go the wrong way - so awesome as a kid he got help- 

He may of just became my favorite Bill- 

 

No disrespect JA17 - your still my hero- that will never die

If you're going to insult me please have the decency to use correct grammar. For your sake as well as mine. Good grammar saves lives.

I guess I'm in the minority watching network news.  Steve Hartman has this regular segment every Friday night toward the end of the CBS News half hour.  Sometimes it is replayed on CBS Sunday Morning.  The stories are always about something positive with good people doing good things.  It's such a contrast to the rest of the negative news that gets reported incessantly.  And I'm proud that a Bills player is the beneficiary of one of these uplifting stories thanks to a regular guy doing something beyond worth for a kid.

Ray Davis’ story is right out of a movie coming from nothing and all kinds of struggles to real success.  What a nice Big Brother story.  McBeane really does choose the right guys for this locker room.

I cant think of a single player on this team Im not proud to cheer for. That hasnt always been the case. Great story.

Thanks for sharing with the board. I love Steve Hartman's feel good stories. They restore my faith in humanity. This would have been a cool and uplifting story even if Ray Davis wasn't playing for the Bills.

Thanks, that's a great story indeed.  I was a Big Brother in the program back in my 30's and would encourage anyone to get involved with it. As evidenced, it can have lasting rewards.
