The Spirit that touches lives
June 4, 2008- TCS # 103
OK. Everyone; It’s time for another installment of The Christianville Spirit Series, Playlist of Your Life. This time we’re going into someone’s life that has plenty of Class, Legacy, and Success. This person’s life is one of my uncles and one of Popi’s great children. This person is named Bruce Smith (or Uncle Bruce as I call him) so, without further a due, here’s a Bruce Smith’s Life. First off, Bruce Smith was born on March 19, 1964 in Michigan. And, for this we’ll play “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” by Mo Roca 180. Years later, he graduated form St. Francis High School in Toledo, OH. FOr this we’ll play “Graduation (Friends Forever)” by Vitamin C. After Graduating High School he moved to Atlanta, GA with Grandma Honey. While their driving to The South, we’ll play “Song of the South” by Alabama. Later on, He went to The University of Georgia where he had great friends and met his current wife, Carolee Armstrong. Him and Carolee were good friends and decided to get married. However, even today they’re still the best of friends. For these we’ll play “I get with a little from my friends” by The Beatles and melt into “Heaven” by Brian Adams. After they got married, I remember one day Uncle Brian complimenting and liking my brother’s color of hair, he said that he always wanted a Michael of his own. Well, ironically he and Carolee had 3 little “Michaels” named Gram, Callie, and Parker. For this we’ll play “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. Today he is quite a successful, involved, and talented man. He was so successful that he was a City Councilman for The City of Norcross which is the city he lives in today. Also, He is involved with his church and he even plays in a band called “The Alley Cats” which he plays in the town park every other weekend. And, of course his talent, he can play many instruments like The Piano and The Bagpipes. For all this we’ll play “Larger than Life” by The Backstreet Boys. And, finally another cool thing about him is that he has a Pilot’s License and he flies small planes. And, for this we’ll play “Leaving on a Jet Plane” by Sister Hazel. All in all, Uncle Bruce is an awesome guy and he is great to meet.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Happy Birthday Kathy!!
