46 Questions

I've been tagged a couple times to do this (and a couple other similar ones) so I will finally get this done (if the damn computer doesn't freeze up on me again!)

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANY ONE?
...First name no,Mom wanted names that would sound right (no cutesy names) for all of us boys when we got old and feeble and would be easy for us to remember! I had a great aunt that was lobbying for me to be named after her brother (Erastus),thankfully she got out-voted! My middle name,however, is from a business man in the town where Mom grew up and she thought was the hottest thing around and her and all her friends had major teenage crushes on! Oddly enough, I am the youngest in my family and that man's youngest is now my best friend! We laugh a lot about the fact I was named after his dad!

  2. Hey Val! I may not have seen the real Arizona but I was pretty impressed with what I saw!

    When I was 19 I got the chance to visit a childhood friend who had moved out there a couple years earlier. I was facinated with the landscape, remember I was used to Indiana!

    I still kick myself tho. I was going to tech school for autobody at the time and had replaced several vinyl tops on cars here. Neil took me to see the local GM dealership (have always been into cars!) which wowed me! All 5 lines under one roof! Unheard of back home! Anyhoo, Neil know the body shop manager who offered me a job mainly replacing vinyl tops (I could see where the sun out there would be hard on them) because he didn't have anyone any good at it. But silly young insecure me, I didn't think I could make it all on my own, let alone in a strange city, not to mention a state so far from home! Of course about a few years later vinyl tops on cars became passe` so maybe I was smart not to take it! NOT! I'm sure I would have been brilliant at something out there!
