Paul Hughes: Rest In Peace my good friend

I could post a much more flattering photo of Paul.  He would leave us for heaven only a couple days later. This photo portrays Paul fighting for his Principles
and Family right to the end.  I believe the lack of Hope in America in 2023 contributed to his passing. Every day, Heaven became more attractive than his
pain and suffering.  Sept 10, 1943 to Nov 5, 2023  Never once in my life did I feel distant from Paul, though I lived more than 1500 miles away for much
of my life.  That friendship never wavered!  My parents were proud that I had found such a friend in my life.

We pound the keys, on our knees, Saying pretty, pretty please. We can't see the forest for the trees That make us nobodies. We've paid our fees as retirees Saying pretty, pretty please. But we find we've lost our guarantees To those who disagrees. Get off our knees, rely on expertise And stop saying, pretty, pretty please.

"Life is never dull when you live it".  George William Smith, September 15, 2023

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.  The worst thing you can do is nothing.

…Theodore Roosevelt

 

When my dad (1903-1998) was really happy, he would always say, "Hur-rah!" (emphasis of first syllable)
From his university days, he loved to say, "Zis, Boom, Bah!  Rah, Rah, Rah!" while watching his favorite sporting events.

My Mom was a redhead.  When she got really mad, her face turned beet red.  I quickly learned her face was a "STOP" sign!

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

My dad always said, "Look for the good in people.  Because if you start looking for the bad, you'll spend the rest of your life finding it." 
He lived his life always looking for good in people and finding it.

“Vaccinated people do not carry the virus and do not get sick”   …Canada Free Press   Jan 15, 2023

The Western Canadian Championship Baseball Team of 1926.  My father, George Rayburn Johnson Smith is 4th from the left.  Their pitcher, Frank P. Minckler, is 7th from the left.  My dad played 2nd / SS/ Outfield. Note: there will only ten players on the rooster and that Minckler pitched every game in the season and playoffs.  Minckler was 42 years old at the time. Mink is famous for beating the Chicago White Sox 2-0 and 1-0 in a double header.  The photo was taken in the Abbottsford Baseball Stadium after winning the Championship.

How I got this photo is an interesting story.  The short version was that mom and dad were traveling up to see me in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  This time they drove first to New Westminster, BC to visit his sister (Abby) and husband (Merv), then east across British Columbia to Edmonton.  They stopped for lunch at a restaurant that was filled with photos of famous athletes who had once ate there and whom had autographed their photos.  While they were eating the manager came over to their table and started chatting with my dad.  In the conversation dad (then 83) mentioned that he played Semi-Professional baseball with the Abbottsford Team and they had won the Championship in 1926.  He then said, "I have something you might like."  He and dad went over to the walls that were filled with photos.  On one of the walls was the picture I posted above.  For quite awhile, dad just wanted the picture to stay where it was.  That is until the manager said, "Didn't you say you were traveling to Alberta to see your son?"  Dad said, "Yes".   "Well then, maybe your son might like it to see what you looked like in the prime of your youth."   Ever since then it is one of my most cherished treasures in my house and proudly displayed next to photos of me in my youth.

1985 Photo at Aunt Della's with Dad and Mom celebrating my 3 World Master Gold Medals in the 400m, 400mH and 800m in the Rome World Championships. 

I was selected '1985 World Outstanding Master Male Athlete from ages 40-44'. 

 

My Rome times were as follows:

400m: 49.95, which is still a Canadian record. 400m Hurdles: 56.74, 800m: 1:56.92.  
I still hold the Canadian Outdoor Records from Age 35-49 in the 400m Hurdles. 

I am most proud of the range of my indoor records: from the 50m hurdles and 200m (Age 35-39), 300m (40-44), 400m and 600m (35-44), 800m (35-49) and 1000m and 1500m (35-39).

Rex Murphy is old school (tells the truth) and tells it straight!

What are the marks of the non-functional mind?  They are three.

...The inability to learn.

...The incapacity to take wisdom from past examples.

...To recommit at the cost of vast humiliation and public mockery, actions that infinitely extend the effect those actions were intended, with grim finality, to suppress.
