A few years ago Kess Wilson got married. Now it’s not that big of a deal that he got married, I mean people get married all the time right? Well, Kess is a member of our church and naturally he got married at our church campus. Now, I’m not that close with Kess so I wasn’t really invited to his wedding (nor was I expecting one) but Kess’ brother is none other than Dean. If you don’t know Dean Wilson, he is a Castle High School graduate and one of the most successful professional golfers from Hawaii.

So where am I going with all of this? Well my wife, Keao, is the wedding coordinator at our church and she told me about the wedding. She also mentioned that Dean would be Kess’ best man. On Kess’ wedding day, I was on the Big Island and so my only request to Keao was to get me an autograph from Dean. Did it happen? Alas, no. She said Dean was a rather imposing figure and she was too intimidated to ask him for an autograph. The most she told him was, “my husband’s a big fan!”

Well at least he knows I’m a fan (although I’m sure he doesn’t know who I am). So no autograph, no golf ball, nothing.

Fast forward to this year. The Golf Channel did a nice segment on Dean Wilson’s home. I wasn’t invited to that party either, but Kess is sporting a nice Hope Chapel shirt. Anyway, take a look:
