My Gladiator Nephew!

My younger brother Jeff and I have always been pretty close. He is a school teacher in southwestern Montana, living in the little town of Twin Bridges where his wife Lynn grew up. They have 4 great boys who we have had a lot of fun watching grow up. The oldest of these is Clark. He has always been an interesting kid. Like the time he shot the horn off a deer just to see if he could do it. Or the time he jumped into the river in April on a dare off the bridge in the middle of town. (He admits that he was really scared that time!) For the past 6 months or so he has been working in Windsor, Vermont as he prepares to go to BYUH this fall. He has been a great help.


While he is working with the family real estate business in Windsor, he has taken up boxing. He made it into the finals of the Tri-State Golden Gloves boxing tournament in Burlington, Vermont, where he fought his way through the teams from Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. A few shots of this true gladiator!

Looking tough entering the ring.


Landing a left jab.




And a great combination!




And while he didn't win it all (one fight short), he really proved he could stand in there with the best!
