Fill a bracket, honor a memory
Katy Hines is honoring the memory of her late husband by raising college scholarship money with an NCAA Tournament pool. Army Pfc. Tim Hines, a graduate of Cincinnati Christian School, loved college basketball. Like l0ts of us, he spent much of March in front of the TV(s), watching the Madness.
Tim died in June 2005, on a Baghdad highway, the victim of a roadside bomb. He always wanted to go to college , but didnt have the means. He enlisted to help in that goal while he pondered what he wanted to do with his life. He never found out.
Katy is running the pool, to benefit the Tim Hines Memorial Scholarship Fund. 100 percent of the proceeds will be used as college scholarship money for one Cincinnati Christian student. I thought it was a great idea. I'd never heard of a Madness pool to benefit a charity.

Amazing! Not a single comment on post until mine.
All the self-righteous b**ching and moaning about anything and everything on this blog, but when it comes to parting with a dollar, forget it.
Mike... I was thinking the same.
I went to high school with Tim, and he was a very brave, and honorable man! I am glad that Katy is taking and doing things in his memory! RIP PFC Timothy Hines
