Article on Tyler Boyd

[grampahol]

Man, that dark place in life..Everything feels like it's falling apart, your hometown is dying or dead, dope, guns, police records, jail, court, the whole 9 yards.. I've been down some of the same hole although my childhood was better.. I, like some of you grew up when much of the region was becoming the rust belt. I remember when Dayton was renowned for being the cradle of inventions then became murder city USA then the dope seeped into my life and with it police, jails, etc..
I can certainly relate with a lot of it except for the great story of Boyd's hitting the jackpot of success.. He deserves all the credit he gets and I definitely admire the young man.. (HA! Young man indeed..I remember when my sports hero's suddenly were younger than myself..LOL)
I got out of the game of running from the cops, dope and all that.. Now I'm just an old and happy guy with a nice table saw.. Life can indeed change for the better (or worse) in huge ways with the slightest things people take for granted..
