We said Good for Donny...The Bard's have done a tremendous job, and hopefully Presley will be back...in 4 years, they have rocked!
The NR should do a more complete story on this...When was the last time a Napa kid made this team? Shouldn't you follow DR Donny Robinson, and do some more coverage...this is truly exciting news!
Let's have a taste of something good other than the usual doom and gloom! "
