About Gray Ghost »

Born in the pristine southern city of Savannah, Georgia, I lived a Huck Finn childhood of fishing, shrimping, crabbing,and swimming in the intercoastal waterways of coastal Georgia. I grew up playing football, baseball, basketball, and boxing. I now live in the beautiful state of Idaho, and enjoy the drop-dead gorgeous outdoors here in the Gem State. What a place to live!!

Though I now live in Idaho, I remain loyal to the Georgia Bulldogs. I bleed Bulldog red and black! How 'bout them DAWGS!

I have written weekly articles for several newspapers over the past 15 years.

While I enjoy almost all sports - I LOVE College Football!!!

I normally leave the game day analysis to others here on B/R, as there are so many that are so good at that. I greatly enjoy reading their articles, and leaving comments. I try to respect other people and their opinions, even if I disagree.

My niche on B/R is the human interest editorial, an occasional foray into humor, and a glimpse of appreciation at sports history. I hope you enjoy reading my articles as much as I do writing them.
