WE NEED TO REMEMBER US

MY FRIENDS OFTEN END UP TELLING ME SOME FANTASTIC AND FABULOUS STORIES AND THEN CLOSE THE CONVERSATION BY SAYING, I SHOULD WRITE A BOOK. THERE IS A BOOK IN ALL OF US, BUT WE ARE NEVER GOING TO WRITE THAT BOOK, BUT WE COULD ALL WRITE THAT ONE STORY AND PUT IT ON LINE. I AM ENCOURAGING YOU TO WRITE SOMETHING YOU THINK WORTHY OF BEING READ BY OTHERS, A PIECE OF YOUR LIFE, THAT SHOULD BE SHARED AND SHOULD LIVE ON AND NOT PERISH WHEN YOU MAY GO TO A VERY WARM PLACE , WHERE YOU WILL WORK VERY HARD TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURE HIGH. IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE NAMES AND DATES, DO SO - IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR NAME USED, THAT IS OKAY - BUT DON'T LET THE STORY DIE -- A HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND WROTE ABOUT HAVING LUNCH WITH THE TWO GREATEST HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PLAYERS IN NEW YORK CITY HISTORY - A SIMPLE MOMENT IN TIME, BUT WORTHY OF BEING NOTED AND SHARED. A TEACHING COLLEAGUE, WHO TAUGHT AND COACHED ME IN MY YOUTH, CAN REGALE ANYONE FOR HOURS WITH HIS STORIES ABOUT SCHOOL AND THE ARMY; THOSE STORIES SHOULD BE WRITTEN FOR HIS SONS AND GRANDSON IN CALIFORNIA. A FRIEND, NOW IN FLORIDA, WAS ATTENDING COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, SINCE SHE WAS NOT WELCOME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA IN THOSE DAYS -- THAT STORY SHOULD BE RECORDED FOR THE GRAND-KIDS AND GREAT GRAND-KIDS. THE STORY OF A FUNERAL AND THE TRIBUTES PAID THE DECEASED BY MUSIC INDUSTRY GIANTS AND COMMON FOLKS ALIKE, SHOULD CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE AND RETELL OF THIS MAN'S ACHIEVEMENTS.
A BUNCH OF GUYS GET TOGETHER AND LOAD TWO CARS FOR A WEEKEND TRIP FROM BROOKLYN TO TRENTON, NEW JERSEY -- WITH NOT MUCH MONEY OR COMMON SENSE AND NOT A CHANGE OF CLOTHES, THEY TURN AN 80 MILE TRIP INTO A MINI INDIANA JONES ADVENTURE - IT SHOULD BE ON PAPER OR ON LINE, SINCE ALL THOSE YOUNG MEN ARE NO LONGER YOUNG MEN.
"IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME" -- I AM SAYING, IF YOU WRITE IT, I WILL TRY TO POST IT AND IN POSTING A MESSAGE / STORY ON LINE, YOU GIVE IT A LIFE OF ITS OWN -- SIX BILLION PEOPLE CAN READ THE STORY AND KEEP IT ALIVE, BEYOND YOUR OWN LIFETIME.
THINK ABOUT IT !
