His Dad, Mr. Charles Stokes, tells the story:
"The amazing find started when the young man having a
typical after school afternoon playing with his brother outside
his home in Dickson, Tennessee when as all boys do he begin
to explore first by playing in the dirt and then the grass
when he begin to look at the clover."
"John did it, a once in a lifetime
find where he actually found a four leaf clover to lift his
spirits and brighten his day but, what happened next was simply
amazing."
After showing his family his new find he
went back to look for more and what do you know he found another
to which his mom and dad said they’ve not found but one four
leaf clover maybe in their entire life.
Now
the question you may ask is what would make this a world record?
Well the answer for those of us who are older may just be
this “He believed”.
John actually, believed that he could find
another four leaf clover and with no thought to the odds,
chances or even the limits that we who have lived the odds
and have placed limits on ourselves he simply went back outside
to find another one and when he did in under 20 minutes…
The world record was sponsored by USA Laboratories,
Inc. Burns, TN.
