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

I finished up my Authentic Leadership class last week. I think it was 15 weeks. It was fun and a learning experience. I got my passport back with more pages sewn in. I had run out of pages. These days it harder and harder to run out of pages, The US doesn't stamp it when you return anymore and there are no stamps as you travel around in the EU community (some exceptions). For the 250 USD it cost you would think they would put the pages in straight. After Easter I am headed to Southern Brazil. It is Fall in the Southern hemisphere. This is a nice time of year in Atlanta, 55 degrees at night 75 during the day. I have been flying, but haven't scheduled the checkride yet. I have decided I like my iPad. It is good when you are looking at property in the car; you can get all the stats right there while you are looking at the property. I have been taking golf lessons. Yes, I know, I can hardly believe it myself. I have decided that Golf is Yoga for Guys.
