The Adventures of Cincydiesel

Many of you know my good buddy Eric. He is always good for a bit of rousing conversation, with a few laughs tossed in.

I figured I start a thread in his honor. I dug deep, interviewed many of his family members, even gained access to old home videos, just to share these little gems.




Lets start with his early childhood. Eric sure had a way with presenting himself.


Here we have him enjoying a nice day at the family pool. Notice the grace with which he executes a flawless entry (almost) into the water.

Here we have him learning to ride his bike. Man did he ever try so hard...

Eric was even the highlight of the Thanksgiving Day '86 Parade.

Mom and Dad were so proud!

Eric remained a unique individual into his teens. He might have gotten into a little mischief, but everyone knows how that goes, boys will be boys!


Take a look at Eric and his buddies trying to recycle an old television. And who said you couldnt feel the effects of going green!

Poor poor Eric.

Not to be too critical, but I believe you have mistaken Sousaphones for Tubas.

Please do not ask me how I know that!!

Seeing how you grew up, I don't think we have to worry about you using a computer very well for revenge!!
