Josh,
Not sure if this actually gets to you or not. My name is Jeff Dowell (you may or may not remember me) but we grew up together in Winston, played some ball at Parkland together and I have followed your career and always been a fan of what you have been able to accomplish.
I just wanted to say hello and let you know that the people from back home are behind you. Although it was probably a bit of poor judgement to speak on the marijuana issue publicly, I thought you did so with class and dignity. You were honest which is something sorely lacking in the NBA these days.
Keep doing what your doing. You are an inspiration to thousands of young kids and will continue to do so.
