Me, Dad, & Trish hanging out. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Musta still be in Fort Bragg, NC because dad
was wearing his uniform. I don't have
memories of Dad in uniform but I'm told I
stopped marching when he retired after Vietnam.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Not sure what had me and Dad so wide eyed.
Maybe Mom told us that one day I'd work for him.
:) |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Sunday morning and we're ready to go with
Bibles in hand. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
One of my favorite pictures of Dad & me. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Dad & I had gone fishing and came home to
show of our catch. The white t-shirt, fat
black belt, and bell bottom jeans was a stage I
went through. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
My nephew Pete and I shared a birthday.
Pete was a cute kid that later grew into a hard
working man. |
| |

 |
|
We went to the Alamo with my oldest sister's
family. They tried to make me wear this
stupid looking bennie hat and there was NO WAY I
was wearing that. As you can see, I lost
that battle. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
I was 18 years old and finally started
coming out of my shell and becoming a young man.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
This was in 1994 at World Championships.
I took third place and was able to get a picture
with the man that started ATA along with my
future wife. |

After opening a martial art school, my
family and a few students traveled to Korea in
2006. Toured a lot of Korea from Inchon,
Seoul, Blue House (like our White House),
temples, etc. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Hanging out on Ocoee river with my high
school buddies. They didn't bother to tell
me this is where "Deliverance" was shot until
AFTER I made reservations. ACK! The
river was also host to 1996 Olympics and
supposedly Cat IV rapids. A lot of fun and
no one lost an eye. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
As a martial art enthusiast, it doesn't get
much better than meeting "The Man" Chuck Norris. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Hanging out with the family at the Alamo.
We had a great time doing the caverns, Towers of
America, River Walk, etc. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Pictures of the Caverns. Amazing. |
| |
|
 |
|
Firetruck pull for YMCA fund raiser with
World's Strongest Man Bill Kazmaier. Super
nice guy and a good cause. |
 |
|
Went to Tampa to hang out with my high
school buddies in 2009. We saw wild Rhesus
monkeys in Silver Springs while kayaking.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Another view of the Rhesus monkey. My
buddy Kit just HAD to make the nice little
monkey mad and come after us. Never mind
the huge gator that was sleeping on the river
bank nearby. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
A Ray's game while in Tampa. |
| |

|
A picture of my high school buddies as we
took a break to eat lunch. Right after
this picture was taken, some crazy flying bugs
decided to make us lunch so we took off up
river. |
| |

|
Our oldest daughter, 16 at the time, tells
me it would be "cool" if her 38 year old dad
played Semi-Pro football. So although I
never played in my life, here I am smiling as
our 8 year old snaps a picture of her lineman
daddy. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Waiting for Defense to get us the ball so we
can do our thing. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Me on the sideline at halftime for a game
that ended up being our first win. Perhaps
I was praying. :) |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Although my first year, I was still drafted
for the PSFL All-Star game. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Hanging out with our youngest on her field
day to Tallahassee. We went to the
Capital, first Capital, Senate, etc. Nice
to get a day off to hang out with our youngest
daughter. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
The DE crossed his feet. About half a
second later I planted my left foot and turned
into him for a pancake. I was out of
high school before this guy was born. That
made me feel old. |

Tying the black belt on our youngest after
testing in front my instructor. |
