Ok, here is the story ...
In elementary school 6th grade all three classes went to camp...while at canp we did all the normal things make candles,learned about nature, and had a mock rock competition between all the cabins. our cabin was biging to be doing something that intailed a bus/truck and everyone wanted me to be the bus...well ofcourse I was the fat kid, lived in the trailer park, and didnt have many friends even within my cabin, just makes scence, well I had a break down and cried I didnt want to be the bus i though they were making fun of me... blah, blah, blah..
On are final day we had a dance and of course it was going to be shower nite, well everyone was going to shower and of course it was open communal showers and being the fat kid having to be nude in front of everyone was hard, luckly the showers were partitioned, well we (all the guys) are getting ready putting gel, in there hair, trying to look are best, my grandmother was a beautician and i had a rat tail comb i had and was using, so out of the blue some one asks "Hey, can I use the comb?" I turned around and one of the popular kids Bob Ritchie was asking me this, wow did it make me feal good, "Sure I said ". then one of his friends I still remember his name(but it doesnt matter now) said "Ewww your going to use HIS comb... gross". I felt 3 inches tall... ANd the Bob said "We all just took showers,whats the big deal..." God that made me feel good, and still does when I think about it to day.... And when people say dont judge a book by its cover, I think of that day and and know what it means...
So people Bob Ritchie is a real person and I believe that he is still this same person, I hear it in his songs and see it in the things he does for our U.S.Troops...sure we hear bad things every now and then we all have bad days dont we?? Well, Bob I would like to think that you see this and I would like to thank you for you act of kindness, even after 25 years I remember, THANK YOU, John Camacho

I was wondering if you were ever going to tell us this story. Its very nice what he did
Thanks 4 sharing your story! Just goes to show the real deal he was when he was younger and that he hasn't changed his true inner core.
That sounds like something he would do, even then he was a nice guy. and from that pic your NOT FAT AT ALL.
