Ancient Artifacts
THE JOE NORMAN
MUSEUM OF MODERN ARTIFACTS
PART - 1
After serving 15 years in office, some would say I was fortunate enough to amass a prestigious collection of priceless artifacts that would give me motivation to make it through the tough times, and a few others I would enjoy in solitude.
As I made my way through these items, I thought I would share a few of more special ones with you here. I hope they bring you as much joy and inspiration as they did me.
In no particular order:
Steven Zachar autographed baseball
This baseball was autographed by the legendary Firefighter Steven Zachar. It was used for the first pitch in the historic Little League World Series in 1978 when the Bad News Bears defeated the defending Japanese champions.
Most are unaware that Steven was actually a child stunt double for Jackie Earle Haley who played MVP Kelly Leak.
MDA and Twin Peaks (DFW)
They know how to make a guy feel special!
U.S. Senator's Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker
They always looked up to me!
NO TITLE NEEDED
The Original Classic
Chris Jarman autograph(s)
LIGHT READING
Whenever I got an elusive spare moment, I liked to relax with a cup o' tea
and a good topographic map.
NOTHING FROM NOTHING, LEAVES NOTHING
My parting gift from the United Way of the MidSouth
By virtue of my position on the Memphis AFL-CIO Executive Board, I was appointed as a Labor Representative to the United Way Executive Board for 2 years.
For what it's worth, I knew as little, or less about the United Way after my 2 years on the Executive Board, then when I was first appointed.
I did receive this nice parting gift though that is still right twice a day.
StewBaby, 25 +2
My first unofficial act was to present Stew with this commemorative token of appreciation that can still be viewed somewhere at the Union Hall.
