About Me

Fun facts about me:1. Can write with both hands. 2. Once shot a fishing line with a .22 rifle at 20yds. (A guy was hung in a tree, I bet him I could shoot his line free in 1-shot.) 3. First and only person I know to ride a bicycle on the indoor track at the Downtown B'ham YMCA. (it was 3am, I was the only person in the building, also makes me the fastest ever on the track.) 4. Discovered and reported the first snake on Big Munson Island, Fl. 5. Sang Mozart's Requiem with the Alabama Symphony at the Alys Stephens Center. 6. For many years I answered to the name "grits". ( My Grandfather or Dad would yell, "grits" and I would look up, thinking they had said, "Chris".)
