Yo-Yo Pa

I'm sure you've heard of Yo-Yo Ma, the internationally famous and award winning cellist.  But, have you heard of Yo-Yo Pa?   You might know him as Judge Crow or Granddad.  Well, he is my Pa and the guy who won the Topeka Yo-Yo Championship circa 1939-1940.  Last night I took Yo-Yo Pa to a demonstration by National Yo-Yo Champion and World Runner-up, Brent Dellinger.  It was truly amazing.  He did tricks that were too fast to follow.  Double Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos in the dark.  Free style Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos off the string.  Hundreds of people attended.  Yo-Yo Pa loved it!  

Here is Brent at the 2003  World Championships:

Yo-Yo Pa bought several of Brent's custom-made ball bearing Yo-Yos.  Here is Yo-Yo Pa as he waits in line for Brent to sign his Yo-Yos.  

It was fun.  The next time you see him, ask Yo-Yo Pa to show you some tricks.
