From (Growing up Through Elementary School) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

Kevin Stalker is my only sibling. Growing up as young children we were the best of friends. We would get in fights, sure but we were pretty close when we were younger. I don't remember interacting with him before and during my elementary school years because my memory is not that great from those years. But from watching the videos my parents took it seemed that I was very proud to be the older brother and that I really loved my brother and was always nice to him.

From (Growing up Through Elementary School) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

I remember a kid named Lenny. He lived off of Hendricks. I went to Burt Elementary School with him in kindergarten only. After kindergarten we moved to Clarkston where I went to Pine Knob Elementary School. I remember seeing Lenny once after I moved when I went to Dan and Dave's house just down the street. I don't remember much about our encounter except his brown fence for some reason. I remember that I met Jim Falk on the first day of First Grade and we have been friends ever since. The funny thing is that Jim kind of reminded me of Lenny.

It was cool to go back to downtown Flint since I went to college there and to see so many people there. My Dad and I walked through the hotel where they were selling running accessories. It's amazing the things that they sell runners like nipple guards and energy jelly beans. I ate a nice pancake breakfast in the outdoor theatre and met up with Olaf and Dave, I think.

We waited in a long line for the bathroom at one point in the university pavillion and I think I remember some guy being weird in line. Dave, do you remember this?

Anyway, the 10 mile race started before my race so I watched my dad cross the starting line and then headed towards the car to get another water or something. It was cool walking the . . . Read More..

I remember I used to think that it was a good idea to give people money when they asked for it on the street. It seemed like the charitable thing to do. Then, probably like most of you, I was introduced to the idea that people who are homeless are in that situation because they have burned bridges and that they will most likely take the money you give them to the liquor store. Still, it troubles me to just walk past someone who could potentially be in need.

Well, somewhere along the road someone introduced me to the idea of buying someone a meal when they asked for money for food. So I tried it once when I was going to U of M Flint.

There was this homeless black guy that asked me for money for food so I asked him if I could buy him lunch. He accepted and we waited in line in the food court at Subway. I would like to say that we ended up having a life-changing conversation or that I lead him to Jesus or something but nothing like that happened. Instead, as soon as we were . . . Read More..
