My Son, Sean, A Volunteer In This Week's "Extreme Home Makeover."

On June 11, 2008, a twister six blocks wide did, an estimated, $70 million damage to Chapman, Kansas, population about 1,400. It wiped out the city and left a great number of its residents devastated.

In November, 2008, Ty Pennington and the gang from ABC’s “Extreme Makeover -Home Edition” went to Chapman to help one family rebuild…choosing an injured, Iraqi war hero who had given to his country only to come back to his hometown and find his house destroyed. That 2 hour episode will air this Sunday, January 25, 2009.

I’m very proud that my son, Sean, and his employee's were among the countless volunteers that went to Chapman to assist in the rebuilding. Sean owns Redi Systems, Inc. a company in Manhattan, KS that sells, installs and services home theatres, home security systems, distributed audio systems, lighting controls, conference systems and just about anything related to wireless technology.

Sean's company was responsible for wiring the new home with cable/satellite hookups, data lines and a security system. Sean is humbled knowing that his expertise will contribute to a better life for years to come for someone so deserving.
