Phil Scruggs:  

would start playing golf at the age of 8 and get the proper training. My perfect career would have been to be a professional golfer. My current age is 61. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be considered to old to do anything but sit on the front porch in a rocking chair.. I was so completely wrong. Now that I am that age and am still fairly active.. I had my first crush in the seventh grade. I was transferred from another school and walked in the classroom and there she sat. I carried this crush all the way through high school. I was always shy when it came to approaching girls. She never had a clue until we were grown. She ended up being a member of my Mom's church, which I occasionally visited. I told her about my crush after church one Sunday. My best friend would tell you I'm forceful, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as quite and reserved.. I am still the same guy from years ago but I dress a little different these days, usually in casual sports attire. In 10 years, I hope to be comfortably retired. I'm going to get there by my investing and hard work.. My closest friend is Kenny Jones. We met each other when I was 14 and he was 10. We still play golf together and talk on the phone often. Everyone would be surprised about my appearance that I went to school with......You can see that in my profile picture. My first job was at Gary Mfg., where I got paid $1.25 starting out in high school to $3.50 8 years later.. What I remember most about it is the people I worked with... I was about 5 years old. I often played in the drive way and one morning the milk truck ran over my toy John Deer tractor and smashed it flatter than a pancake. That left an impression on me.
