Yeah I'm name dropping....

The Mrs. and I are going solar at the farm.

We had a delightful hour+ zoom this morning with Mr. JV as he is VP of sales at a local solar company.

Two time 4A shot put champ at Davenport Central, four-time all B1G academic all American, NFL player. Cool dude, very articulate, intelligent, and obviously a Hawkeye through and through.

He is sought after to sing the National Anthem and plays classical piano.
A real renaissance individual.

Thought I'd share this for those of you who remember him.

I love it when HR brings him on for their podcast. Definitely a smart guy and huge geek like myself. Damn good Hawkeye as well.

Wait just one damned minute. Who the hell is "The Mrs."?

Lol. Thought you might chime in!

Yes, at age 63, I married a lovely farm gal named Melody. Am now an Illinois resident (shocker!)

My days of carousing with you and Happy Chef at the tailgates are over.

You forgot his most important accolade, he played in the Little League World Series on a Davenport team back in the day.

Well played sir!

 

[MelroseHawkins]

Well played sir!

Melody's are now in their 60's?? Damn!! Either that or you robbed the cradle. I have never met an ugly Melody.

Either way, well done by you sir!!
