Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319
"Nothing can be enjoyed by us without it first having cost labor..." Abraham Lincoln Life is interesting if nothing else. We are getting a few more chickens. Bard Rocks they are. Refugees from a 4H project, layers they are. We have a bit of snow, measured in feet not inches. It will keep us all busy between getting gas for the machines, the moving, the discusions and so forth.
