Well, all those hard days, months, and years of practice finally paid off for Jon the end of February. We went down to watch the State finals held in Huntington, WV. It was a very exciting moment. I had to call my two grandsons for good luck and to calm my nerves before the match. The guy he beat was a 2 time champ and was ranked nationally. Jon was confidant and Ben was right there supporting him. He did a great job and won 6 - 3. It has been so fun and exciting for all of us to share in Jonathon's accomplishments. Jon will tell you that it was with the help of his bro and friend, Ben, who helped him out as a workout partner. He had great coaches and underclassmen who were supportive. It has been so fun to watch our two sons wrestle through high school and as the coach said at the banquet, there will be no Waldron's on his next roster. This is the first time in over six years there won't be a Waldron on their team. Between Ben and Jon it has been a great experience watching them go through all these matches and learn so much. They have matured and have grown. We are closing this chapter in our Waldron book of life but I am sure there are more chapters ahead that will bring us much joy.
