A few weekends ago I met an elderly man that was very much alive. I made a connection with him instantly because he had a deep passion for baseball. He told me he had multiple season tickets for baseball and football teams. We formed such an instant relationship that he invited me to use his season tickets to see a game. He invited me to his house to pick up the tickets. When I got there he was swinging on his porch in front of his 25 acre plantation. He had a huge amount of land where he grew squash and other vegetables to use for his amazing recipes. He also hunts with bows and teaches his dogs to point and help him hunt. The most interesting thing I learned though, besides the fact that he was a president of 6 different companies, was that he was the secretary in Charlie Wilson’s War. To think that he such a huge part in a largely known historical event was incredible. I can’t wait to talk to him again.
