Half way there, I get pulled over for going 85...while pulling out my licence, the CHP officer asked about this card I had...told him I did some comedy fundraising shows for the group a year ago...the reverend bob levy gave this card to me and told me to keep it under my licence...the CHP dude gave me a warning...thank you, bob!!
