Fisher DeBerry Update

The event at the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame was a wonderful event last night. Chad Hall was honored as Colorado College male athlete of the year. Citations were read for the accomplishments of Eric Ehn and Troy Calhoun.

I am working on getting a copy of his induction (by former CU Coach Bill McCartney) to be able to post on youTube. Fisher's speech was the last one given, and he brought down the house with his ability to transfer his passion and command to those of us lucky enough to be there.

Fishers Foundation Information is below.If you would like to participate in any of the events please feel free to contact me at michaeljensen@remax.net or if you would just like to make a donation to his Foundation, you can go to www.fisherdeberryfoundation.org

Thank you and GO FALCONS!
