Well, we all know that I’ve never had my own “real” father figure…but there are quite a few male figures that have made an influence in my life (be it good or bad). The following list has no order to it…the names appear as I recall them. Also, I list these gentlemen by the name I knew them. So, here goes…
- Jimmy Roberts
- Bill Maxwell
- William Liedhegner, Sr.
- Jon Yarbrough
- Pat Noe
- Andrew Noe, Sr.
- Joe Turner
- Vaden Kinslow
- Don Wood
- Joe Noe
- Charles Fowler
- Ray Beaman
- Bill Liedhegner, Jr.
- Joe Turner
And then you have those “friends/acquaintances”…who have left such an impact on your life that you’re not sure what you call it. Even a person who leads a s0-called “bad life” can still leave you with a “good influence”. And maybe…it works the other way, too. This list consists of the “friends/acquaintances” who are, have been, or were a major influence in my life (be it good or bad). Again, there is no order to this list and they are listed by the name that I knew them. Please don’t feel offended if you’re not listed…it doesn’t mean you didn’t have a place in my life…it’s just these particular people stuck out for some reason.
- Chuck Ransom
- Teddy Roberts
- Chris Furlough
- Vance Watson
- Mark Moore
- Jerry Fontaine
- Kevin Baker
- Jimmy Oxley
- Kerry Sisco
- Johnny King
- Mark Chesebro
- Andy Fowler
- Geno Daley
- Ronnie Amans
- Mickey Amberg
- Bob Fly
If it was safe (Internet speak) to share the individual stories about these fellas…I would love to…but…I guess this is where this post ends.
