I remember that Albertsons thing - I grew up same neighborhood -over on Potter. Mitchell HS class of '82
My cousin was on Dogs' show, and the house I grew up in was on it the other night, just in the backround though. I was on TV as a kid fishing at Huck Fin days, and again a couple times for school related stuff and some skateboarding stuff back in the day. I had one of the fastest street type drag race cars in the state a few years back, and won a race before it was fast. People that I don't know still come up to me and ask me about that car. Been on TV at The Mile High Nationals helping some friends in Comp. I got to hang out on the starting line with everybody who is anybody in the NHRA that year, that was pretty cool bsing with John and Ashley Force, Don Prudhomme, Tony Schumacher and his old man, and everybody else I met. And the one that really matters, I got into Front Sight shooting my Uzi 9mm in Hoser's steel match.
