Food, Wine & Art Theme based Travel - host Bruce Oliver

From Winston-Salem, North Carolina to the Family Foundation School to Wake Forest to the New England Revolution and then the Colorado Rapids MLS Soccer Teams; Wells Thompson has had an amazing life. Most MLS Pros spent their lives playing soccer, going to school then to college and then get drafted by a MLS Team. Wells Thompson took a different path but ended up ahead by landing on a winning MLS soccer team. Fans of the Revolution like myself miss seeing him on the pitch in Foxboro Massachusetts. Chance, I think not. You make the decision. It's an amazing journey that you have to listen to on the Cruise with Bruce radio show. Today Wells Thompson is a midfielder on the Colorado Rapids MLS team. I've ecome a fan of Wells Thompson because I admire his courage, tenacity and faith. His first goal with the Rapids happened to be against his old team mates on the New England Revolution in the second half at the 82nd minute making it 3-0 in favor of the Rapids. Then he got a yellow card, not for the goal but for his celebration of the goal when he took off his shirt to expose the shirt below which read - John 3:16. If you're a fan and don't know his story, tune in to hear it. A short time later, the Colorado Rapids went on to win the 2010 MLS CUP with Wells in the midfield as a starter.
