| Article on the Gilliam & Associates Realty Nashville Flood Relief Drive I organized during the summer of 2010. |
In 1985 a picture of me & my friends on the Pirate Ship ride from opening day of the NC State Fair, was on the front page of the Raleigh News & Observer newspaper. You can imagine the delight that Saturday morning when friends and family started calling, asking for my autograph. The famousness of it all!
25 years later I felt the same excitement all over again as I read, "pulling together for a cause" by Christa Gala. Her article was on the front page of the Real Estate section of the Raleigh News & Observer newspaper. Once again there was my picture, with an article about the Gilliam & Associates Realty Nashville Flood Relief Drive I organized. This time instead of phone calls, I got shout outs on facebook.
They say it's not what you know, but who you know. I am lucky enough to know some amazing people, not least of which is Christa (Chrissy) Gala, who made both opportunities to be in the paper possible. As you look at the picture from 1985, that's me at very top left, and the girl sitting next to me is Chrissy. (She was the one who wanted to ride the Pirate Ship that day.)
