A word about Mr. Vince Peatros

[Hook'em Horns]

2 years ago I gave my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It took more than a year for me to grow into the man I am today. I continue to grow, as we all do learning more and more about life each day.

I went to California never expecting to meet Vince Peatros. However, I've read so much negative remarks about the man that it wouldn't have mattered to me either way if I had gotten that opportunity. It was truly a blessing to have met him as well as a humbling experience and a lesson from God! The one thing that my father did teach me was that everything in life, treat it as a "Lesson & a blessing". I learned that God is the judge and the juror. Never to judge for you may not know what one has experienced in his/her life. The blessing was meeting Mr. Vince. This guy was the polar opposite of everything that I have ever read on the posts about him. Now, he is a passionate man and stubborn at times I'm sure but so is Jim Davis and I found him to be the opposite of all I had read as well. This guy Vince has such a giving heart! He shared with Reg and I so many things I don't know where to begin to start. His garage is FOOTBALL HEAVEN! Not just electric football heaven, football in general. I learned so much about the history of the game at Walt "Vince" Disney that I literally was there in awe until 4am in the morning.

If I continue to write it be 8 pages so I'll just say this. Vince, it was truly a pleasure my friend! You are truly one of the great guys inthis hobby and I pray that what is festering inside of you about all that is bad surrounding electric football that you release it and enjoy all that is good about it. After visiting your home it was apparent what pumping thru those veins and without you're not alive, so why live like a turtle inside of a shell? Come join us, this hobby needs you my friend!
