“Hi Bob, my name is Andy Hampton and we were the fathers and sons that came in a few weeks ago from Missouri to visit.  I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the visit and how awesome it was for us and our boys.  We all said that it was the favorite part of our trip and that was attributed to the Hospitality and generous experience you and your assistant made for us!  You both were so wonderful to listen to and spend time with and we greatly appreciate it!!  Thanks again!!”
- Andy Hampton

​"Hi!!!! Thanks so much for the amazing experience. Out of all the things we did and saw on our 23 day road trip, the Hoosier gym was our favorite!!!! We appreciate all the time you spent with us telling us so much and letting us play basketball and take tons of pics. Katie was worried that you wouldn’t remember us bc I took too long to send the pics. I said he’d never forget banana. I’m curious what you did in the medical field (I am a physical therapist). Thanks again for everything!!!!!" - The Melvins from NC and NJ
