Subject: Hello

Mr. Meck,

I finally found you again. I am originally from Geneva, AL and use to
listen to The Coach and The Meck every night when you were on the air. I
think it was 103.9. I had the honor of meeting you at the P-Nut Festival
one year and you took me to your van and gave me a T-Shirt. "It's Time to
Smell The Cornfields Baby" I will never forget it. I wore the shirt to
school and my buddies would always ask how did you get that shirt man? I
would always say I have connections.

I graduated in 1997 and joined the U.S. Air Force.
I was stationed in Oklahoma, Japan and currently in Ft.Walton Beach, FL.
Nothing like the south.

I was wounded on 2 March 2007 in Iraq by an IED and currently healing at
Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C.
I was looking through the internet and I found you and information on
your new show. I just wanted to share my story with you, so I decided to
email you.

I always respected you for what you believed in and how you
expressed yourself. I remembered a quote from you that went like this "
It's not how you start the game of life, but how you finish it. That is so
true. God has a plan for me and tells us in the bible that he will allow us
to prosper. I don't always understand why I got hurt, but I know god has a
plan for me and I look forward to seeing his new plan for me when I am out
of the hospital and back home in the South. Mr. Meck I want to Thank You
for a few minutes of your time and I look forward to downloading some of
your radio shows. Take care and God Bless.

Thanks,
Mark McDuffie

Please pray for our longtime listener and friend .. Mark McDuffie.
A Brave young man and soldier.
Mark .. Thanks for sharing and blessing our lives.

You may email Mark [ themeck@themeck.com] . We'll forward your thoughts to him.

Meck talks w/ Bob about Barry Bonds breaking Aaron's HR Record.
Bob says it 'might be overshadowed by A-Rod breaking Barry's single-season record.' [ 73]

Don't you think A-Rod will break Bonds' and Aaron's record ?
'He'll surpass both of them. No reason in the world why he shouldn't be the HR King.' - BN

[ A-Rod ..Alex Rodriguez currently has 474 HR's.]

Why is Aaron planning not to attend the record breaking HR by Bonds ..?

'A definite Hall of Famer.'
'He embraces the media.'

[Glavine, Smoltz and Maddux] ' 3 Hall of Famers in the same rotation.'
'Plus a Hall of Fame Mgr.' - BN

You said on this show before 'Bobby Cox is the greatest manager in the history of baseball ..'
Do you still believe that ?
'Most definitely .. No one's done what he [ Bobby] has.' - BN

Will Andruw Jones stay in Atlanta ??
Bob talks about Scott Boras and his thoughts on Andruw.
'Andruw will set the market price followed by Ichiro.' - BN

Bob picks the Braves to win the East [ followed by the Mets and Phillies].

T I M E spells L O V E
Written by Eddie Carswell and Michael O'Brien

Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...

Click HERE to listen - www.TheMeck.com

T I M E spells L O V E

Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth

Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time
and your L O V E love

I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on

Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away
