Congratulations are in order for one of our members, Jack Duke, for winning the Mr. Dallas Eagle 2010 title!!
Earlier this year we posted some information/links about another one of our very own members, Jeffrey Payne, winning the prestigious International Mr. Leather award in Chicago, click here to review the article. Before that Jeffrey also competed and received the title of Mr. Dallas Eagle 2009.
Now it seems that Jack Duke is proudly following in Jeffery's footsteps with his first win of the Mr. Dallas Eagle 2010 title. If you happen to see Jack out and about, which shouldn't be that hard, please make sure that you give him a hearty congratulations!!
