RIP to our Trivia Loving Friend.  You will be sorely missed!  Friday nights will be never be the same with out you! 

Hello  Everyone

            I was born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana. I was  part of a  very large family. 5 brothers  and  4  sisters.  I  got  my  hosting  nickname from a  nickname my grandfather gave  me. As the middle child, most all my clothes were hand  me  downs.  So he always told me i  looked like a  ragdoll. So  I  choose it to be  my hosting  name.

           It  seems like as  a  child  I  was  always  sickly  and clumsy. My dream  was to become a  physical therapist.  But  due to finances  that never  became a  reality. Instead I  hired  in  to  General  Motors  right  after  graduating in  1964.I retired  from there  at  about  age  35  due  to  disability.  About  the  same time  my  " ailments " finally got a  real name.  Multiple Sclerosis. After  three years  and a  ton of  setbacks, my neurologist  suggested I  move to a  warmer  climate. So in  1986  we  bought  two acres in  Florida  and  two months later, my children and I  found  ourselves  living in  Florida.

          Back in  1971  God blessed  me  with a  son, Jeremy. He  has  given me  four  grand daughters, Meagen, Alexus, Julianna  Margaret  and  Alaina.  Then in  1973  God blessed  me  with a  daughter  Jennifer in  1973.  She  and her husband  Carl, has  given  me  one  grand daughter  Katie. Also  have  several  step children  and a  few others I  helped raise  at  one time or  another.

            Here in Florida I  was a  guardian ad litem  for  kids in  court, here  for  fifteen years.

            One  day  my life insurance  agent was here collecting  the  premiums  .  His  wife  also  has  MS.  He  mentioned  she had  found a  website  for people  with MS.  And she was  always  laughing  and having  fun  there.  He got  me the  website, I  dropped in  and  never  left.  It  was  MS World. I was  hooked immediately.

            Not  long after  I joined  MS World, I  was  asked to  join  staff.  I  was  shocked  and  honored.  It  wasn't  long  the friday night  host  left  MS World. They asked  me to  take over  friday  night  game  night. 

           I  wanted a  game  everyone  could  play  , and  decided  to  try trivia.  It  became  an instant  success.  Over the years  i  have collected  many  many trivia  games, books  etc  to  glean  questions  from. To  this  day  I  still collect  them. I  have  enough  ahead  for  several more years  worth of trivia  nights. I  am  always  looking to add  more.

           I  look   forward  to  many  years with MS World. I am very  proud to  serve in all the  areas  I  do.  I  am very  proud to be a part  of  MS World  and  all it  does. I look forward  to seeing  what the  future holds for  MS World  and all our  members.

           So look  out, you never  know  you may end up  being a  question  for  trivia  night.

           Love to everyone.
