Wish Granted at Desert Storm
Never met an 11-year-old like Jack Koble, http://www.boats.com/boat-content/20...2%80%99s-wish/.
Puts things in perspective. Especially if you're a parent.

That is so awesome. Something he will never forget.
When we were racing drag boats or hydroplanes my dad would always allow kids to sit in the boat. The smile on their faces was priceless.

Thanks guys. That kid, Jack Koble, had me laughing the entire time I was with him. He's brave for sure, but he's also funny as hell.
Craig Barrie was like, well, an 11-year-old kid when he told me about giving Jack his ride. Hat's off, Craig.
And to Bob Vila whom I didn't get to speak with: I'm sure you felt that taking Jack for a ride was a small gesture. It was giant.

He really had the auction jumping Friday night, he is truly a breath of sunshine for kids that are going through some of the same struggles in life, it is great to see that nothing gets him down and that he is living his life to the fullest...
