Who has been your greatest inspiration and why?

my grandmother was my inspiration.she always had time to share w/me all her life even after i got grown. i could always talk to her & she would listen, that meant so much to me.she encouraged me to go into buisness on my own. noone else ever treated me like she did. i miss her so much.

My Father . He was my best friend along with raising me right . He taught me how to be a man , and Deal as best I could with what Life has thrown at me . Thanks to him , I am still alive.........;)

My parents influenced me.I loved Sandy Shore a singer on the tv who danced without shoes and to this day I kick my shoes off on the dance floor.My home economics teacher was a great lady she always looked nice,smelt nice and did things nicely.I always wanted to be like her.I used to ring the bells in the local church and that gave me discipline and self control you could not have the hab dabs with four tonne of bell under your control,and most of the people ringing were different from my school mates ,plus I did amateur dramatics and there were really different people and interesting some of them were a bit eccentric but amazing characters I did the props with Marion ,who incidentally lives up the road from me some thirty years later,I lear'nt how to read a script and now were everything was to be put on stage for the performance,I did get a couple of bit parts at times,but the props was what I enjoyed doing and painting the scenery.So living in a small village,smaller than the one I live know was quite an influence and all the lovely people that lived there.Thats why we never moved from this village as I had such a wonderful childhood that is what I wanted for my kids,so i suppose it was the people around me and my environment that influnced me more than anything else,as we were not allowed to listen to pop music,or watch much tv.So I have always been able to find something to occupy me.
