Line-up for the evening. Truly Las Vegas quality
A special, special honor for the evening. One week earlier, Willie and Craig made a visit to cancer floor of Powell 3 at Iowa Methodist Hospital to visit some of the cancer patients.
One of the patients was Abe Pauley, diagnosed with leukemia. Willie spent an hour visiting and talking family history and sports cars with Abe and truly made the afternoon enjoyable for everyone present.
We made a deal with Abe, his goal was to get healthy enough to come out to the comedy event and our goal was for him to come up on stage and share his story. POWERFUL testimonial by Willie and Abe.
During the evening it was learned, Lou and "Round Guy" and Abe all worked together years ago.
