I HAD NO IDEA!



Recently, I was having a conversation with someone from high school who had a perception of me that astounded me.

Now this person is someone I trust, I know tells the truth, and doesn’t even cuss!

My wife was in on the conversation and got the surprise along with me at the same time. The person I mention is Pam Rae, a person who admits to extreme blonde moments at times. Although she is a very bright woman, she can fall off her chair!

She said and I quote: “When Joe was in high school, he had a touch of hood in him.” She continued her assessment with the fact that it was based on the way I walked. ( I didn’t swish) To be fair, I am even showing you the picture of her today, and me in high school.

Since I am so shocked by this statement, I thought maybe I’d take a survey of you dear readers, and see if there may be some truth in what she claims. If I get any responses, I will quote them in a dedicated blog on the subject.

Do you think I was or had a touch of hood in me?

I would be particularly interested in what my four sisters think, as well as those who knew me then. And for all those who came into my life later, what DO you think?
