Finally back home from Atlanta...

I (again) want to thank David Redmond for inviting me out to catch the DSEFL playoffs; I had a good time. I also had a wonderful time hanging out with the coaches from Stone Mountain, Georgia. My man Rafiyq rolled out the Red Carpet for D.C. and me by opening up his home for fun, fellowship, and (miniature) football. Fiyq had Tony and Ronnie whom I had met at the DSEFL playoffs as well as coaches Derrick, Jay, and Moe. Fiyq graciously provided food and drinks for everyone in attendance. We all had such a killer time that we didn't leave until 2:30 in the morning. Special props to Coach Tony for carrying D.C. and me back to Cascade. I also want to thank Coach Allen for getting in touch with me, and Coach James Shealey who reached out to me almost everyday of my stay in the ATL. You guys showed awesome fellowship and hospitality.

I learned a lot about your league and it's coaches during my stay; I look forward to getting together again. To Coach Joel Pritchard who wanted D.C. and me to come to South Carolina and hang out at his place on our way home (thank you)... Sorry we didn't get to stop, but I'll make it a point the next time I head down. To Coach Gary Pate... I forgot you wanted my number. Just get it from Dave Nichols or one of the other coaches and call me.

Peace,

Don Smith
