Defining Influences

I grew up in a divorced household and thus a  fatherless home.  That being the case and being a boy, I sought out older male influences which to model my behavior after.  There were many from early childhood until I was about 30.   My blogs will be a chronicle of these men and how they helped to shape me into the man I am today.  These men were anything from older relatives to teachers and coaches  Like me, none of these men were perfect but I think I was  able to take something positive and lasting  from each.  I hope you enjoy these blogs as much as I will the memories they will bring up.  I will list them in chronological order starting from my earliest age.   There may be some familar names in here
