Thinking and
Thanking "Big"
Scott
Walton recently attended a meeting of the Big Brothers, Big Sisters
organization of Oklahoma and met a phenomenal individual, Tim
Morris. Tim is a Tulsa Firefighter and a resident of Claremore
and was named the Big Brother of the Year for 2007.
Tim was matched with his little
brother, Alex, more than five-years ago and the two have formed a
life-long friendship. Tim has made a big impact on Alex's life
and has enjoyed watching his little brother grow.
Together, they ride Tim's
motorcycle, walk dogs, fish, watch movies and sometimes just hang
out.
“…I was looking to make a
difference in a young person’s life, much like my father did for
me," Tim said of his decision to become a Big Brother.
Even though Alex says that the day will come
when he becomes too old for the Big Brothers program, he says he
will never become too old to hang out with his best friend, Tim.
Although this is not related to
the Scott Walton for Sheriff campaign, Scott wanted to take notice
of Tim and congratulate him for being the Big Brother of 2007 and
thank him for being an exceptional citizen of Rogers County.
"I've always been impressed
with the genuine good nature of Rogers County people and Tim is a
great example of what Rogers County is all about," said Walton.
