June 3, 2007: The family gathers in Norfolk, NE, for a Relay for Life benefit golf tournament in the name of Diamond Bob Hughes, and dedication of Bob's gravestone. Russ gets the ball rolling on the first tee of the shotgun start, two-person best ball team event. 
 
The course at El Dorado Golf and Country club was gorgeous, as was the weather, and as was Samuel Thomas, son of Ann and Mike Rush, debuting in front of the family for the weekend. What a wonderful life!
