MOAA President George Tracy Talks to Class About Lacrosse

We were visiting our son, daughter-in-law, and eight yr. old grandson in Marietta, GA for a few days and grandson Sloane (who told his lacrosse coach that "lacrosse is in my DNA!) set it up for George to talk to his class about lacrosse.

George gave each student a signed lacrosse ball and a bumper sticker. They were a great audience.
