Most people aren't aware, but the 2015 club deck almost did not come to fruition. Let me explain... Back in mid-July (2015), I received a phone call from Tom Dawson around supper time. He informed me that Jackson Robinson, who agreed to design the 2015 deck, was backing out of the project for personal reasons. To make matters worse, the deadline to turn in all the artwork for the deck was eight days away. Finding another artist would be highly unlikely, and very difficult. Tom knew this, and it was clear by his tone of voice while speaking with me. Not one to shy away from a challenge, I asked Tom if I could have the next 24hrs to make some calls. Come 'hell or high water', I was going to find us an artist that would deliver playing card …show more content…
I jumped in and opened our conversation with, "Paul, thanks for taking my call this morning. I'll cut to the chase ... are you interested in designing this year's club deck?" He quizzically asked, "Isn't Jackson designing it?" I replied, "Sadly, no. Jackson had to back out for personal reasons. That means we need someone to design this year's deck. However, before you give me an answer, I need to tell you all of the story." There was a long pause as I built up enough courage to tell Carpenter the hardest part of my not-so-exciting news. I continued, "We only have a week to get everything finished and turned into EPCC, artwork and all. This includes a couple creativity rounds with the exec. board about the design and direction of the deck. Seven days, start to finish." At this point, I figured Carpenter would hang-up the phone in disgust because I was clearly requesting 'Mission Impossible'. Even Ethan Hunt would turn this one down! Carpenter shouted, "One week? That's insane. That's crazy. That's ... that's a challenge. Let me speak with my wife about this. May I call you …show more content…
It wasn't going to be an easy week, and he'd need to clear his entire schedule to make this deadline. Three hours later, Carpenter phoned with his decision. He said, "My wife and I think that Jackson shouldn't have all the fun! I accept this challenge." I felt a wave of relief come over me because I had just found our new 2015 designer. But as that euphoric feeling set in, so did reality. I knew we were staring down the starting line of a seven day race against the clock, and time already had a huge head-start. Like a true professional though, Carpenter got right to work. To my astonishment, by the day's end, he was sending around his initial mock-up for the board's approval. The concept was gorgeous (I personally LOVED it), but the board asked Carpenter to go back and try harder to create a design that the antique and vintage collectors could appreciate as much as the modern ones. With that direction, Carpenter went back to the drawing board (no pun intended). By lunchtime of day two, a new mock-up landed in the board's inbox. It was even better than the first one he pitched. It didn't take long for the board to approve it. Carpenter was given the go-ahead to create the entire deck before dinner that

Once he runs out of money, he gives up and just paints the thing. Does this sound like someone who wanted to make this sculptor? No, this guy just said, "oops no more money, well, i 'm done." and moved on with his life. So this is twice we have had it so, one group of people want it, and others don 't give a damn, so don 't build

As usual Ted and Yuri were in the barn. No decision had been made at the newcomers meeting the evening before and he hadn’t heard from Willie Dixon or Mel. I let him know about the two requests I had to stay at the lower farm and the one family that was definitely leaving. I made sure he knew they asked me and were supposed to talk with the Dixons.

She now lives in the same neighborhood just in a different house.
From the time I was born I have been surrounded by sports. My dad tells me that while my mother was giving birth he was watching the Major League Baseball all star game and she made him turn it off. My middle name is Brenden, named after the now retired hall-of-famer, left wing, Brendan Shanahan. I can remember being in love with sports for all my life. For birthday parties when I was younger I would have all of my friends come over and we would play pick up baseball games.
As far as childhoods go, I can reasonably say that mine was atypical. At the time, my childhood was like a fantasy shrouded in sunlight, grass stains, and an indescribable warmth that can only be called love. However, looking back with what I know now, I realize it was so much better and so much worse than that. An important part of who I am comes from the fact that I live on top of a hill without another house for two miles in any direction. That meant my five siblings
