Characters I Have Known
and some I have not met, yet
Somebody once said, “Jamaica got de most characters per square mile in de world”.
I don’t know about that – I have only been to Jamaica a couple of times but there has been no shortage of Characters in my experience right here at home. The handful whom I have written about in this section stand out in my mind but there are many others whom I admire or have admired greatly. The following list seems to grow as the weeks and months go by but here are a few of my favorites.
- Willie Nelson[i]He is only 4 years older than I but his odometer is off the charts ahead.
- Frank Sinatra
- Ronald Reagan
- Elon Musk[ii]Somebody said the $44 billion he invested in Twitter should have gone into preventing world hunger or curing cancer. I have often said, the solution to the world’s problems is education. What better investment than stamping out censorship in the news media? Maybe, providing high-speed internet to Ukraine to resist Russian invasion.
- Andy Grove[iii]How can be listed here and also on my Assholes list? It’s easy, just click here.
- Dr. Ben Carson[iv]https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ben-Carson
