Rollyn's Story
Life
I tend to make friends over the years over morning coffee. Generally I hang with older people. This means I tend to visit the funeral home from time to time...more than I should living 800 miles from the hometown. I work with people many 30-35 years my junior. That's an education on its own. Nine years ago, friends of mine had a baby girl and suddenly I was changing diapers and being responsible for a little life when her parents were working. Two years ago, her father, my friend passed suddenly at 37. Caregiving is the biggest challenge in my life being called upon to look after this now 4th grader when her mother or grandmother aren't handy. It isn't always easy to be a great example and I pray constantly for guidance. God has blessed me and I approach one day at a time.
School
Mr. Davis who had had my dad ...Expand for more
in his class in the 20's walked into history class one morning senior year and the first thing he said was, "Mr. Edquist the word is lon-gevity." He must have been listening to my radio program the night before. I still cringe when I hear the work mispronounced especially on cable news.
Does anyone know what became of my Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue with maybe Cheryl Tiegs on the cover circa 1969 or 1970? Mr. Krysiak told me at a reunion sometime ago it was being passed around in this chemistry class. Thing is I never took chemistry.
College
I keep having to apologize for going to the same school as Plaxico Burress. To balance this though, I think Earvin Magic Johnson as an 8th grader might have listened to me on WVIC...in the middle of the night...I didn't have the greatest time slot as I was still in school.
