Though I am relatively new to this world, I have esteemed friends. I follow in the footprints of some very respectable men who have made impressive names for themselves. I, along with my good friend, Kramer, were once the shining young stars of The Wolfpack. But, because of familial and other obligations, my own activity has been limited as of late. I do not have the time to dedicate to this world that I once had, and have fallen behind.
As a result, much of the time that I do get to spend working in this field with the men and women who I love is spent catching up with the very rapid changes that our world is constantly undergoing. In any given day, I will miss the beginning or end of a new family, or changes in the way that the world functions in general, based on our country's governmental and economic growth, or men who I met as just boys growing and taking on resonsibility within the my own family. In many cases, these are men who I know that I have helped to develop themselves into the man or woman that they are today. It is a great feeling to see these individuals step up, and to watch them implement the qualities that I tried to emphasize to them. It's like watching a child grow, and to know that you are responsible for teaching them the skills that you are watching them use.
In this way, it is fun to watch a sort of legacy develop. It's always interesting to watch the different generations of this world form. From someone who I have taught, to those that they, in turn, take under their wing and begin to instruct. It's a good feeling that, though I am not around as much lately as I would like to be, my effort and teachings that I have put forth are living on in the form of others who I have helped along the way. So thank you to all of those who continue to make me proud, and to those who remain loyal. |
