 We Get Emails

From Colonel-Governor Jim Givan, responding to an email raking him over the coals for requesting access to Members Only Section. Mix’s response was sent on to Givan.

    1ST Lt John Mix, vintage 1957, should mind his manners. After all, his former radio station has its antenna on my ranch, his rank is much beneath me, and if he wants to match wits then we may have to have a debate in front of a biased group. I will only spot him the ability to play the piano, which I cannot. However, if challenged, I will sing, which was once banned by unanimous vote at a BBRC meeting.”

      Mix reply: I have an honorable discharge with the rank of Captain

    Notwithstanding that, I note that many, notably Mix and Mahoney, have access to me and I need retaliation access. Besides, I am on a first name basis with Rick King. If that isn't enough, I would note that you still brag (or is it that you wish it would go away) about having a District Governor in 1993-94.

      Mix reply: Absence makes the heart and mind wander. Jim who?

    Here in beautiful downtown Anderson, Indiana, I chair the foundation and WCS projects for a club of 139 (where is everybody else?) In my club, am the PR representative for District 6560 as well as establishing a district speaker's bureau, and am the Zone 30 WCS Task Force representative to RI.”

      Mix reply: Apparently you don’t know the meaning of “Get a Life!”

    And John (he was my sponsor, having previously known me in our fraternity Phi Delta Theta at gimme an "I" or eye, depending on your contact") should know that he is the step grandfather of a local judge who is a member of my club.”

      Mix reply: The Phi Delts were hard up for pledges that year. And, I’m sorry, Jim, but genealogy is of great interest to me, but I’ve never been in Indiana.

    And the band plays on.

    Thank you for spending your 4th dealing with the likes of me.

    Indiana Jim

Follow-up email from Givan:

    Have just finished reading a book by Bill Geist titled "Fore! Play," which is an irreverant look at bad golf, i.e., the kind I would play if I played On page 218 it has an iteresting notion for too many hole sponsors: sponsor the hazards instead, with degree of difficulty getting the higher prices. A thought just in time for your upcoming event.

    And keep in mind that a good landing is one that you can walk away from.  A great landing is one where you can use the airplane again.
