Blog Award

Our Friend at The Classic Liberal Blog has nominated your humble proprietor to receive the coveted Honest Scrap Award.  It does come with a condition:  To receive the award I’m required to list ten facts about myself.   So, here goes:

1. My relationship with Jesus Christ is more important than anything else in my life.
2. I grew up in Culver City, a small town surrounded by Los Angeles, that was home to several “Hollywood” movie studios.  My favorite childhood adventure was watching location filming as the studios often used local homes and buildings as sets.
   
3. I was a bachelor until age 38.
4. I have a wonderful wife, two fabulous step children and nine fabulous grand children.
5. My wife and I have owned a small business since 1985.
6. I’m addicted to cars, especially classic cars of the 50s and 60s.
   
7. In 1964, before I was old enough to vote, I worked in the L.A. office of the Goldwater for President Campaign, where I met Ronald Reagan.
   
8. I worked for both of Reagan’s governor campaigns and his 1980 Presidential campaign.
   
9. I’m a proud Army veteran.
10. The night of December 21, 1966 the VW van I was driving was struck by a train and I survived, with minor injuries.
