I was sittin widdlin the other day when an old man walks up. He must of not known me cause he said “What have you ever done?” Well I said I got married about 28 years ago. I had to make a living So I went to fixin old cars up. I fixed up 3-4 Camaro’s 5-6 Chevelle’s and probably 10-20 Old Trucks. Had a Couple of old Limo’s as well. All around about a couple hundred cars over the years. I have built a House. Then I got into art don’t know how many sculptures, paintings, pictures or other things I have built or created. Can’t count the number of People I have helped. They have slept on my couch, has to be around 100 or so. All the boy’s I taught them as if they were my own sons. Honor and appreciate Every one of them. Only have one Son who has My blood. Built him a 31 Ford (with my Dad’s help) A 442 Old’s and Gave him Dad’s/My 80 Dodge RAM We have had for 28 years. I got him through School. Gave him the house I built. He has some BIG shoes to fill. But I Believe He will Do BIGGER and BETTER Things Than I have ever done! I had moved back into my childhood home, repaired and rebuilt it. Decided I wanted to build a town around me. So it started with a barn in my backyard then a Blacksmith shop, onto a saddle shop a saloon and a church. Built an antique filling station then a store and a little Jail all in the front yard. As well as an Office/Studio for Me. I Ain,t bragging. But I am PROUD of what I have done. I’m only 49 and I owe no Large debts and I ain,t done yet. Then I looked at the old feller and asked. “What have you done?” He Said “Nothin compared to you son"
