Clay Aiken & Ken Green - Comeback Kids

You may ask yourself - what do Clay Aiken and Ken Green have in common? On the surface, probably not much - but if you dig just a bit deeper you will find some parallels.

In reading the new blog by our friend Larry the Golfer No Damn Three Putts: A Golf Blog with Balls I was struck by Ken's story - a story of trials, tribulations, courage and perseverance. In doing a bit more research, I realized that Ken is my kind of guy! You gotta love a man who gets fined by the PGA for signing autographs while playing.

So what are the parallels? Both Ken and Clay are working hard toward being at the top of their game, a comeback so to speak. Now, I
KNOW how I'm going to support Clay and, thanks to Larry's blog, I have also found a way to support Ken (and I get a pretty green hat in the process!!).

If you are as taken by Ken's story as I am Click Here and you can help too.

Ken, if you read this, good luck to you!! Remember, no matter what life throws your way, you can rise up from the Ashes

The Ken Green story is about perseverance. I'm glad as a Clay Aiken fan, we found it. Clay knows a lot about persevering.

Great blog from Ken Greene. Thanks for giving directions over there. I purchased a hat for one of my sons. I think Clay Aiken would approve.

Thanks for a great blog, Sue. Clay Aiken fans are some of the most supportive and giving fans around and I betcha Larry will find lots of hats being sold for his friend, Ken. I'm gonna wear mine for gardening 'cause I'm sure not a golfer! :)

Thanks for the info. I was hoping they'd have some dates closer to Chattanooga, but I guess there will be more dates later. Ashville isn't too far and there's a 39$ one-way flight from here to Tampa/Clearwater. Take care & God bless. Love always, Cynthia C.
