Very sad to hear this news about Mel Turpin. I knew him as a very sensitive kid who had talent but was never as good skill wise as many thought he could've been. When he was at UK, the Wildcats rolled. He didn't have a great pro career but from what I heard from those who were around him often, was a pretty good guy. RIP.

I hope you write your memoirs one day. With all the people you have known over the years, and the impact you had on some of their lives, I think it's a story that could rivet a reading audience.

You meet people every day Ragu. Everyone has a story to tell. One of the reasons I got into this business is because I love telling stories. You never know, maybe one day I'll find a publisher interested enough in printing some of those tales.

Drip,

I love how you seem respond to statements without actually addressing them head-on. You should get into politics.

LOL, look, I'd have trouble getting votes to be a moderator on this message board. Do you really think I'd have a chance gaining a popular vote for political office?

Hell of a lot of talent on the floor for the 1984 semi-final.

I can't imagine what your career has entailed, but it really is clear from your history on this message board that you love telling stories.
