Q: What are you hoping to raise
funds for now?
A: Our goal is to fund an additional,
specially equipped ambulance, affectionately
known as “Little Brother.” The current
ambulance is a traveling hospital and
needs “Little Brother” to help carry the
load. This past year, the hospital had
106,000 ER visits; 111,000 radiology
exams; 21,000 surgeries; and discharged
18,000 patients. McLane Children’s is the
only pediatric-specific Level II Trauma
Center in Central Texas. We want to be
able to respond to every call, every child
in need.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit
about the big event you’re
working on?
A: Yes, this party is so much fun! The
Visionaries hosts “Boots and Bandanas”
every other year. This year’s event is
Saturday, May 20th at Schoepf’s Bar-
B-Que in Belton. We have two country
bands this year, John Conley and The
Bellamy Brothers. This will be our third
event, and I am thrilled to say it gets
bigger and better every year!

Q: Do you intend to keep up your
good work?
A: Yes I do! I had my 87th birthday last
October. What I do is so fulfilling, and
since the Lord has passed me over twice,
maybe this is what I am expected to do.
I would not dare to question God!
