I know I am GRATEFUL to know and work with Vito and this award is WELL DESERVED. Vito was recognized for all of his hard work and dedication to the sport of adapted water skiing. I think the perseverance of years and years of effort and great events that expose people with disabilities in Missouri is worthy of recognition.
