For Me hands down Granny. She always believed and was there for me no matter what.

Dead: My Paternal Grandparents. My life would have been much worse without them. I can't imagine how different my life would be, and not in a good way.

Alive? My Godson and his family. They have always treated me as one of their own.

 

[Charlie Brizzown]

My ol' lady. I'd be dead without her.

Robert H Pott and Mikey.

RHP is credited with inventing the impact wrench. Mikey brought Life cereal to the forefront of the cereal market. If only their paths had crossed sooner...

Religion teacher jr year in HS
My grad student girl friend in college
My wife
a LOT of former students
A guy that I sat next to at a dinner maybe 30 years ago
Earl - earl was an older dude that I ran into on a gulf course- I was in major life transition mode. I caught up to earl and we played about 4 holes together and Earl just downloaded a bunch of wisdom on me - for awhile I had a golf ball of his that I referred to as ‘earl’s pearl’

Perfect.

And that was our maturity level when we hung out.

I've thought of writing a book about it.
