Charles Thomas, former Asheville High multi-sport athlete, continues to perform well for the Atlanta Braves. (Follow link http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=433595 for current stats.) We visited Atlanta for a game July 17th and were able to speak with Thomas.

We continue to wish him well and are now following the Braves on TV every day!
