Kind of a funny story about the kid.
Ya'll know I am very proud of him, but there were alot of funny things
that happened as me and him were growing up :). I raised him and my other son Steve by myself...or they raised me is a better discription! I always told both of them to do what ever they felt a passion for, and let the money part take care of it's self. But being a caring dad, I talked them both into going to college...just in case grin. It took alot of coaxing, but I finally got little John to enroll in school...naturally he decided on "Marine Biology". He made it through about two semesters, and dropped out. I had a talk with him...his explanation, "Dad, the only thing I'm interested in is fishing, so I took Marine Biology, but most all they talked about was "fish", and when they did, all I wanted to do was get up out of my chair and go fishing!". I kinda understood grin. JK |
