I am a Bristolian that went to High School in the 80's. I played Little League, Pop Warner, and Youth Basketball (League ran by Jack Perry). GOD BLESS THE PERRY BROTHERS! If more people had the hearts of these men, the world would be a much better place. When I was a young boy, I was in the company of Rick Perry many, many times. Often by myself.. He gave me rides to practice, and to school. NEVER, I repeat... NEVER was I made the least bit uncomfortable by anything he did. The Perry brothers poured their heart and soul into youth sports in Bristol, and we all looked up to them. I find these allegations very hard to believe, and I pray that they are not true.
