The Horse/Giraffe

Name:  Mission Aka: The Way of Ryan This Guy, Ryan Wininger and I met at Alma College in 1989, my senior year, his freshman year.  We had a new coach and he had recruited the fab 5 of Alma College basketball.  The future.  This kid was 6'5 long, build for ball, big smile and beautiful girlfriend and brought a lot of fear in the current players cause he and the other 4 came to make a name for Alma College Basketball. Ryan and I became very close and after the school year I spent the summer in Traverse City Michigan with my mom, brother and sisters.  It was a time to play a lot of ball and hang out.  Free from school, I did have a small job at a local gym and also helped the YMCA get sponsors for their 1st annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament.  That was my 1st experience of being a "sales" person and should have realized that was not my om.  Nice guy but couldn't get the sale.  So it was easier to hang out and play ball, hoops or sand vollyball than go out and face the world of NO's.  Bad
