Funny -- When we lived in Alabama, we went to church with the family of one of the winners!
Thanks for letting us know about the contest. My son subscribes to Boys' Life, but I didn't know about the contest.
Anne, I'm glad I could bring you a familiar name under good circumstances. :)
I wish your son luck if he enters. Even if he doesn't, I'd love to hear what books he'd recommend to other boys.
