Cool story!

If everyone had tarred the young guy with the same brush (like most of the club seemingly did), that result would never have happened.

If you and your friends hadn't stepped up, chances are he'd be driving something VERY different - like a hot rod, or a completely different brand - whatever club was most accepting and welcoming.

YOUR input was the fertiliser for the seed
