Tuesdays with Gindy The Contest

When I think of Papa, what stands out in my mind is that he could set his mind to do something and he would accomplish his goals.

He loved to sell.  When he worked for National Cash Register (NCR), he was always either the number one salesman or number two. 

Papa Bruce loved a contest.  He once told me that it did not matter if the prize was just a pint of pee-pee, he wanted to win it.

Several of the salesman decided that the only way they could ever win a contest against him was if he didn't know there was a contest.

They kept one contest a secret. On the very last day of the contest, the salesman who was in the lead taunted Papa. 

He told him there were only a few hours left and there was no way Papa could win.

As soon as Papa found out about it, he got on the phone and called around and got enough purchase orders called in to win that contest.  .

As I recall, the prize was a small portable color television.  The television sat on top of my parent’s chest of drawers in their bedroom for several years.

One of the people he called was the bowling man from another story.

He loved a challenge. In fact, challenges kept him going.  I think it was that adrenaline rush that he looked for.

I truly admire my father.  I look up to him and I have learned from him. He means all the world to me. And I love him.

A Contest

We would like to announce a contest on our blogs. Starting 01 January 2012, we will have a contest on our McClendon Villa, Random Thoughts by Suzanne, and Red Neck M.B.A. blogs.

Here is the way the contest works. We will be giving away a total of three $25 Amazon gift cards. One will be given away on the McClendon Villa Blog, one on Random Thoughts by Suzanne, and one on Red Neck MBA.

To enter any of these contests you must first register by sending your name, mailing address, e-mail address and whatever handle/user name you are signed up as for the blogs to Contest. Please include the name of the blog you are entering the contest for in the subject line.

You may enter all three contests if you wish.

For the McClendon Villa blog contest, you will receive one entry for signing up for the contest and one entry for following on any of our blogs linked to the McClendon Villa blog. You will also receive one entry for every comment/post you make on any of our blogs that are linked to McClendon Villa.

In order to qualify for the contest a comment must be at least 25 words long (as measured by MS Word) and contribute to the topic being discussed. Off topic comments or comments like “I agree” do not count.

On 31 January 2012 we will place identical slips of paper into a container with one entry listed on each slip of paper.  One of our family members will draw out a random slip. Whoever’s name is listed on that slip will win the gift card. In the event of a tie, all winning slips will be placed in a container and a winner will be drawn.

Each contest will be completed in like manner.

The judges of the contest will consist of David E. and Suzanne G. McClendon. The decision of the judges is final.
