He was an actor. He's a liar, he's dead.
What is so distinguished about that?
So he developed a likable persona. Probably good for bizness. Big F deal.
My grandfather drove motorcycles into the front lines in WW2. Got his leg
half blown off.
Came back and drove a truck for forty years because he was a badass that
could stay awake for 24 straight hours, driving a truck, without falling
asleep and then lift 100 pound boxes off the truck. He did this for 40 years
until he died 2 years after he retired.
Oh yeah, he weighed 125 pounds,
You know, In my athletic life I have raced World Champions, I have been in
the ring with World champions, I have been on the mat and wrestled world
champions. And you know what, my Grandfather could kick my ass when he was
60 and I was 20.
At times, I would ask my grandfather what it as like to storm Normandy. He
would shrug and say, no big deal and I don't want to talk about it, it's over.
Jack Lemon fabricates track times. I should say He lied about track times.
My grandfather is dead, HE SAVED THE WORLD, he would not talk about it.
Now you tell me, who is distinguished?
Mike Platt
"if I won a gold medal I would still be the 3rd most distinguished person in
my family"
behind my mother and my grandfather.
