We used to go out there - several of us kids - about 16 and 17 years of age to watch the planes come in,

I wouldn't let my kids watch my show until they reach a certain age,

I've never seen anything like it. There are 80 million of us out there at the age where our kids have left the nest.

We had 100 kids in each age group and, when the coaches spoke, the players' eyes never left us. These kids were practicing eight hours a day doing all the drills we used to do in the U.S. And it has paid results. Lithuania is a nation the size of Indiana with probably fewer people and they got back-to-back silver medals in the Olympics. That experience got us motivated to teach fundamentals.

There were about 15 other kids our age, and this park meant a lot to us. We remembered the fun and decided to do something special.

I distinctly remember him saying, 'Do you kids want to ride over to Tulsa with me?' ... And we all piled in the Winnie Mae and went to Tulsa and back.
