For the same reason many of you choose to remain anonymous, I need to do the same. I'm sorry to leave you curious. My world intersected with the Johnsons about a year after he came to Ga Tech. Let's say that my work is not football-related.
A friendship slowly evolved. In the tougher years, we really dug in even closer to lend support. Most Monday nights, for instance, you'll find us at the radio show in Midtown. We started that the week after the home loss to Middle Tennessee State. Wanted to put friendly faces in the audience. We kept on going because we enjoy it so much, though.
My wife and I enjoy our time with them, and wouldn't betray confidences for anything. When we are with them, sometimes we don't talk about football at all. More about life and family. Other times, when he gets started, the football stories may go on for hours. The tales from the recruiting trail are hilarious. They are generous and good people, you should know.
Following Georgia Tech football more closely, as a result, has become a passion that has added richness to our lives. So, with that said-- let the sound bites flow on!
Paul's helped me out a couple of times with different things. My association with him goes back nearly 20 years. He really is a good dude and can be riotously funny.
