I was a zombie in the straight to DVD classic 'Dance Of The Dead'. They filmed it in Rome and it was actually a lot of fun.

I think I saw you in this... GREAT work! An instant classic.

I probably fall into the catagory of "well known", locally and among various groups across the state. Because of my profession, I know tons of people in the association world, many FL members of Congress, FL legislators and all the FL Cabinet members. I periodically get interviewed on TV and radio, and regularly address groups of people around the state regarding public policy issues. I am also well-known nationally within several sectors of health care leaders because of leadership in national associations. But, honestly, 50 years from now, other than my kids and grandkids, I doubt there will be even a footnote in history about me.

When I was a kid my parents were missionaries in South America. We were in the mission field from 1955 to 1966. Shortly before our return to the states, we visited the Wycliffe Language Institute east of the Andes Mountains in northern Peru (in the jungle). While we were there, my family had dinner with one of the widows of the men initially involved in Operation Acua, which was reaching out to virtually stone age indigenous people of the Amazon River basin by seaplane. She had a guest named Mincayani, who was the man who initiated the murders of the men of Operation Acua in 1956. By that point the murders were ten years behind them, and Mincayani and many of his people were professing Christians. Mincayani and Operation Acua are the subject of the 2005 movie, End of the Spear. If you don't know the story, it is worth watching the movie.

I've met all sort of famous political and evangelical leaders over the years, and with very few exceptions, I don't walk away thinking, "WOW, I just spoke with...!" These people that work in these remote places are not dynamic leaders, but rather are quietly plodding ahead with what seems to be thankless work, invisible to most of the world, and I find them more impressive than most folks whose names you see on ballots, or who are frequently on TV.

Yes Sir! My father is pretty famous, he was able to build something enormous in 6 days and then took the 7th day to chill.

I like that...
