For several years, I displayed statues at the Passaic Valley, NJ Boy Scouts annual dinner and fundraiser. They would typically bring in ball players as keynote speakers and this particular year, the speakers are Rich Gossage, Graig Nettles and Bucky Dent. The event was great and I was glad to help out Peter McBride, a major booster of the NJ Boy Scouting programs.
