When I was in Grand Rapids a few months ago, I met Drew Nelson. I listened to him play, and I think he is terrific! I was able to say hello and speak to him for just a short time. We just became friends on Facebook. He had a show last night and even though I wasn’t there, I asked him to sing one on my favorite songs of his, “Molly’s Home” from his new album, “Dusty Road to Beulah Land.”
Here is the message he sent to me after the show,
“Hey Reggie.. I played ‘Molly’s Home’ tonight .. Closed my eyes and pictured you. Hope you are doing well.” – Drew
What a nice guy. When he is in Houston, I for sure will go see him play. He has supported an NF event in Grand Rapids so I’m going to support him with his gift of music. I hope my friends will support him as well!

Tonight was very special as the Discovery Channel was in town filming a documentary about Reggie. Thanks to our dear friends at Saltgrass Steak House, the Psych Ward Sirens and all of our friends at the Houston Roller Derby, for making this an evening Reggie will never forget!
Toni Niece, of Saltgrass Steak House, gave us permission to shoot some interviews at their restaurant on I-10 @ Campbell Road. Thank you, Toni, the restaurant was perfect, the food excellent and the staff incredible! Our waiter, Chris, was outstanding and took wonderful care of us. Also, thank you for the delicious appetizers! That was completely unnecessary but totally appreciated!
Saltgrass Steak House Rocks!

What a great night at the Roller Derby. Please meet my new friends in the photos above. The friends above made the night special f. I don’t remember the little girls name in the photo. She was specially nice, and caring. Seem to be concern about me. I hope she knows that because of her and her Dad and friends I had a terrific night. Thank you for asking about nf, and for taking a photo with me.
Of course it is always fun watching all the roller derby action. All of the teams are good at what they do, Roller Derby, a good place for anyone to go, and get treated as if, you of you are the champs. All the teams treat the fans as if we are playing. Hats off to all of the HRD for treating the so special.

It’s back!
Hot, sweaty roller derby action is back at Kicks and Lou and I are going this Saturday! Sure will miss some of the skaters that retired last year but look forward to meeting the new skaters who are taking their place.
I love Houston Roller Derby! The women who skate are tough on the outside but are the sweetest, most wonderful people on the inside. Every time I go, they make me feel like I’m the most important person in the world!

I just got this email from the UK and I just wanted to share. It brought tears to my eyes and made me realize just how lucky I am!
Reggie
Hey Reggie… all the way from the UK! I asked Caroline at Darlows for your email and she said you had okay-ed my writing to you. I work freelance doing transcriptions for various production companies, and for Darlows especially for the past 15 or so years [yes, I'm very old!] and have listened to an enormously diverse spectrum of people, as you can imagine, from politicians, air crash survivors, children who have had terrible things to suffer in their young lives already, victims of tornadoes and floods and yes, it does get a little depressing sometimes that they don’t tend to focus on more joyous subject matters, though I did do one recently for them on the history of Concorde which was neat. And interviewees do come along whose stories are very moving and which touch the heart more than others.
BUT… having the immense privilege of seeing you and listening to you as I transcribed interviews from the DVDs and also your wonderful mom and the fabulous Shiner [though sadly he didn't say much!], has been one of the stand-out highlights of my career. I have felt so involved in your whole story, and could certainly relate to parts of it, like your not wanting to go out into the world early on, and then gradually being drawn out by your lovely friend who has helped and encouraged you to go forward with Just Ask and a whole host of other “out there” type things, like going to meet Maurice. I was sad for you about not being a baker, I’ll bet you’d have been brilliant, and food is always so much nicer when made with love.
Your journal will make amazing reading as you have the most extraordinary way with words, and as a diarist myself I know the value of keeping that sort of record of thoughts, feelings and achievements.
Anyway, I’m sad that my work on the programme has now ended and I’m onto the next one, but I do hope you will think they’ve made a good programme when you finally see it all put together, and I know for a fact that it will touch everyone who sees it as it has done me. “Reggie rocks” is what the girl who works with me said, and we both agree!
I wish you continuing strength to battle whatever life may throw at you, and the continuing love and support of your friends and family will go a long way to providing that. And Shiner, of course, the most important friend and companion of all.
best regards
nicky

Thought things couldn’t get any better. I found out yesterday things can always get better, Even though you are happy with the way things are going for you now. I Meet a lot of nice people in Austin. Our Austin friends are learning about neurofibromatosis and showing compassion about all who are affected by NF. Shouldn’t surprise me. I always walk away feeling great, as I know the new friends I met feel the same. A big thank you to all who took time to take photos with me! You are all very special to me!

Lou and I went to the rodeo tonight and had an incredible night! The highlight of the evening happened rather early like within the first 15 minutes. Lou noticed a nice lady next to us with a baby and she looked like she needed to smile. So Lou started talking with her and before I know it, she’s asks me if I want to hold her baby. I was so honored and so proud and so appreciative of the unconditional trust that she had in me.
Michelle Hickman, you made my day today! Thank you so very much!
Lou took…like, over 120 photos so click below to see all of the new friends we made tonight. And, also, a special “Thank you!” to the soldiers from Fort Hood that were at the rodeo tonight. You are a credit to our nation!
I salute you!
