What's up Alumni and possible returning players?

( I also find it funny that many of you, after all of these years are now CDBA Alumni!)

What I've done:
I've designed a "CDBA4LIFE" t-shirt and on the back of the shirt are over 200 last names.... The last names of all of you who have participated in the CDBA since the start in 1999 and have left the program in "good standing" with other guys in the program and most importantly, with me. This includes Camp Darryl-North!

I've discussed producing a "new shirt" for years, but I'm now putting that into action.
The front of the shirt has a drawing of a player dunking that my late brother made for me in 2001, just before our trip to Lakeland, FL for the YBOA Nationals (remember those days?). It will also have the following, that were his own words with the drawing:

"...you are and have been an inspiration to many young men & women... Your abilities and attributes have proved to be an asset to the community, society and the future..."
- L.B. Matthews, III. 2001

To me, this is more about all of you than it is me. The program is still going because each year a new player shows up who knew one of you when you played and they would see you wearing the CDBA gear... Community, Society and the Future, because of you all who have participated.
Thank you!

The shirts will be Gray and the print will be multi-color. The price will be $16 for a short sleeve and $21 for a long sleeve.
Aside of the "five fathers" (Phillips, Earl, Cultra, Ratering & Kool) being listed first and in all capital letters, the list is in no particular order on the back of the shirt, the names are listed random. One last name listed per family and some of you will be sharing your last name- example: we've have six Robinson's, none of whom are related, and one Robinson who was/is a CDBA coach (he was related to one of the six Robinson's). Robinson will only appear on the shirt once.

Please pass this information to any of your former CDBA teammates as I don't have contact information for everyone.

Please order as many as you'd like (smile)!
