Cutter's Blog

I guess my hero was my sunday school teacher, that led me to the lord. Then my mother and father.

Oops . . . I forgot one more.

I remember when I was that bull-headed teen and would get upset at mom over what was really nothing that I would always find solace by visiting Great Aunt Eunice. I spent many nights with her playing Canasta, listening to her stories, and eating some of her delicious desserts. I remember when she moved back to St. Louis and I was able to go spend a few nights with her and take her to Bingo, what a great time we had.

My grandmother Iris was another. She taught me to give of myself to others without being asked.

My grandfather Rance taught me to enjoy the moment and appreciate what others give. There were many nights when I was in 3rd and 4th grade when I would go home with Carol and spend the night. Carol was teaching me to play the alto sax and it never failed that Grandpa would call me downstairs to play "Go Tell Aunt Rodie" for him, squeeking and squawking throughout, but to him it was a symphony.

Rance was alrite , I always thought he was so cool . Eunice is in the nursing home at Greenville . She has good days and bad . But health wise she's doing ok .

SERVENTOFCHRIST . Most heroes nobody ever hears about . Their not looking for fame . Just wanting to do Gods will .
Thanks for the kind words ! God Bless

She would love that . Her vision is very poor . You would make her very happy .
I may be going down this week . If the weather is nice , i,ll take her to see your grandma .

My hero Cutler ! Is my wife ! She is the first and she saved me from myself ! My father and most of his family have all been hero's in their own right ! Yet the real hero's are the founders of this country and all that have followed them who fought to keep theis country #1 !

OOH! a great question.

My interpretation is, doing something extraordinary!

Who are my hero's are who do I look up too?
Lots of people I've came in contact with.
Teachers, a Catholic priest, my parents,
co- workers not necessary in that order. In my years of being on the FD I seen and witness lots of Hero's in both sense of my interpretation. Wow, the more I think about it, the one person who effected me more then any one was a African American male.
his name is really not that important. What he did in his life as a single father raising 3 kids by himself and they all have a degree.
he, himself didn’t finish grade school. I guess that may surprise some here? because of my hardness towards African Americans and their behavior that Some exhibit in our society.

Be well and safe
