A thank you message to all band members: Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your tribute to my daughter Kelsey during your show at the game. I was stunned that another school cared enough to do that and it meant a great deal to me. I stayed and watched the entire show after the game and then tried to individually thank as many members of the band as I could but I was not able to speak to each one. I would appreciate it if you would relay how much I appreciate the efforts of you and your band. It meant so much to me. Kindest Regards, Greg -- Greg Smith President Kelsey Smith Foundation, Inc. P.O Box 40393 Overland Park, KS 66204-0393 www.kelseysarmy.com
