Another success story, for craig!
 

All: Just wanted to share a double success story: yesterday, we graduated 9 individuals from my Drug Court, clean and sober for five full years, with the exception of one. That one completed the program (Methamphetamine addict) in the absolute minimum of 3 1/2 years by completing every requirement, in order, and on time - very difficult!


The second success story is that same young man - fascinated by my '47 Ford Flathead PU which I drive on occasion to the office - he has now purchased a '50 shoebox, and intends to make it a driver: the young man? He is 26 years old..........I am SO proud of my "children!"


Craig Beers - I shared your story: you are / were an inspiration to him!

I remember you explaining how the system worked Marcus.. You're doing great work, the alternative would be just a one way street if it wasn't for you .

Press on Marcus.
I worked with the Drug Court in Indiana and saw many more successes than failures. As you know it's a matter of changing the heart not just the behavior.
How can we give up on anyone when God never gave up on us.
We rejoice with you, and them, Chap
