My mom said she saw Grandpa Bell on the local news tonight. Something related to him winning nationals.
They must have picked up the story from a national service, so if any of you watch your local news anymore, maybe you'll catch it.
Grandpa Bell on the news!

Grandpa Bell put on quite a show. He was in my group, M60+. He jumped almost by himself for about an hour. I think he set a new WR about 10 times. I have most of them on video.
He turned 85 about a week ago so he was the "young kid on the block" in the 85-89 age group. Of course Earl was there to provide some guidance.

Now Earl knows how his dad felt watching him all of those years!
