Donald's Story
My old friends remember me as leaving Savannah and joining the USMC military. 1964 USMC 1975 Wash DC ATL, Ga 1964 1975 1985 1995 I remember Saturday nights in Harlem NY, Smalls Paradise, Brooklyn, out Flat-bush Av, Shore/Belt parkway, Far Rock away/Beach, Cross Bronx, Express, Verrazano - narrows bridge,coney island, city island, Twenty-nine Palms, (EL TORO) Ca (USMC),... 1964 - 1995 Stl Mo 1995 Las Vegas World Porker Tour 1964 1995 Dallas Ft Worth 1995 LA, 1964 San Bernardino, Ca - flew across the golden gate in a black hawk helicopter, Santa Monica Blvd. 9/11/01 NYC WTC I worked at ground zero at the pentagon in NYC 85-95, but fortunately I did not go down in the towers.
I always wanted to write a best seller, and/or screenplay In 1999 Chi IL I saw the south side of Chicago for the first time. 2009
I came back to Savannah (the new south) to write a book, "PHD from the "school" of hard knocks".
Collaborator with vivid imagination wanted/needed welcome and invited to share some life experiences in a book, screenplay, movie... I always wanted to be a writer of a best seller when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right.
I was offered the roll of shaft in the Shaft II by Gordon Parks. I took the script home and threw it in the trash can. About a month later I saw Gordon Parks in Ebony.
True story! Working on one of four projects works in progress. Got hit hard carrying the football, I hit a ball so hard in the back of the village a grand slam turn into a I got robbed by Pete Brockton..
Back in the day there have been a few in a few States NYC Bob Law radio DJ, with streets of new York city; Chi., LA, school of hard knocks..
When I met DC Pete Green and Alley Cap
NYU, Morehouse, UCLA, Columbia U, Harvard...Expand for more
U alumni.
I have been everywhere in the USA but New Orleans, La The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Norman, Sherman, Andy and Louie Diaz of NYC and The SE, NE, and the NW Crew in DC, because we kicked it together the best when at the top of my game..
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel, put up a TALL FENCE and add on a ULTRA SOLAR REVOLVING SUN ROOM, UP STARS RED ROOM. My dream home would be PARTIALLY UNDERGROUND. EVERYTHING, EVERYDAY HOW TO C H A N G E THE BEST SOLUTION FOR EVERYTHING.
If and when you do the same thing the same way every time you get the same results.. If I won $100 million, I'd give 49% of it to my kids the next generation with stipulation after tax and tax free rans, tans and tax exempt bonds, notes, and bills, then I'd spend the rest on real estate mergers and acquisitions, transportation and more shelter in best of four states.
Everyday same as above my best friend would tell you I'm slow, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as right on time. I like silk and linen yes I did ware silk 10, 20, 30, & 40 years ago..
One trophy for Boxing USMC from Paris Island USMC I knocked out Herbert Bret from Chicago in first round you get one do-over. What do you do differently? I should have been a writer, I shall write more. In 10 years, I hope to be accomplished writer.
How I'm going to get there by action steps. My first job I ever had was at NYC Canal Street, I got paid $20 to $40 a week. What I remember most about it is IF YOU ARE PAYING I'M PLAYING; IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING I'M NOT STAYING! Where I came from...
Political Affiliation Conservative Extremely left as far left as you can get before becoming a democrat liberal extremely right as far as you can get before becoming a republican..
