Story grew up spending most of his days after school and summers at the Paseo Boys Club. “I can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that without my experience at the Paseo Boys Club I would not be the man I am today”, says Story. “In 1977, I was named Boy of The Year and to this day it’s one of the proudest moments of my life. People like Robert Palmer, Charles Porter, Andy Waters, Marcus Smith, and Rita May touched my life in ways that continue to be part of my moral compass. I will forever be a Boys & Girls Club member for life!”
