y University of Georgia home football game since 1989 and have only missed 13 road games (over 300 total games home & away.) Traveled to Budapest, Russia, Moldova & Belarus for JA International in the mid-90s training educators on how to teach Free Market Economics to high school students. Worked with American Shakespeare Center in Staunton Virginia in 2000 raising $3.3 million to build an authentic replica of a 16th Century Elizabethan Playhouse -- the only one of its kind in the world. Helped raise $150,000 to endow a football scholarship in Larry Munson's name at UGA. Larry was the longtime announcer of Nashville Vols baseball and Vanderbilt football & basketball before coming to Georgia. Went skydiving again in August 2011 but haven't gotten another tattoo...yet.
Son-in-law opened a craft brewery in Woodstock Georgia October 31, 2013 - Reformation Brewery. When I have nothing else to do, it's a great place to 'hang out', occasionally help out and meet new people. They hope to expand into Nashville, Chattanooga and Charleston South Carolina in 2017.
