Default 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.
