Rob,I came upon a value years ago when my daughter had an assignment to get definitions of words from her parents. We went through several vocabulary words and came upon the word "wealth". I thought about it for a few seconds and the following definition to me. "Wealth is not measured by the amount of worldy goods you have, but by how long and how fondly you are remembered after you are gone." It was pretty much the value that my grandparents had given to me in my youth.
I have served this great country since 1975 and now that I am retiring, what better way to make an impression on others than something like this. After Brad has had his hunt, I hope that he will have had a hunt that will give him fond memories for years to come. Then maybe he'll go back home and do something for someone else (the ole pay it forward effect).
When you really think about it, what have I done other than made an effort to make a new friend?
RESPECT!
