John (Button) Mason, well that's me, they say with age you get better, I know that is true, My wish was to play Pro- baseball like My father,I wanted to be in the big city, Join the Navy and yes it's true "NOT JUST A JOB, BUT ADVENTURE". Well the Navy was good to me, yes been around the world, three, four, time,but it was the challenge, leadership, professionalision and the character instowe in my life.

ork with youth in California,Colorado,Texas,Maine, Florida,Washington,and love every minute of it, Now Live in Des Moines, IA, that's right Iowa, where it's cold and snow all the time, see once you live in the big city you need to go back home, for me I seen to have a hard time at home, I guess because people still see you as that person, you were going up. I guess I have always wanted to come home and work with youth there, to show they life is good, but you do have to work for it,I have had a good life, there are things I wish I could have change, but it was not to be, so you enjoy each and ever day, like it's your last, I can say it's nice, So if you still live in Greenville, that's good if not I guess that good, but when you are sitting there doing nothing, think about how it is when we grew up we had fun, good fun, now think about it now, is the PRIDE THERE
