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

Back from several days in Minnesota. Cold! I am not accustomed to the cold anymore. It really does happen. I am sure I could easily get used to it again, I guess. I drove some large equipment in MN. This one even had my name on the front. It was good trip. It felt good to be working with Engineers. It is warm in Atlanta today. The tops are down on the convertibles. We had a chance to take some nice walks. The picture in the dark is Douglas after all the big snows up in NY. It looks like it is still coming.
