I got tagged to write a meme by SF Bay Area Real Estate Expert Ginger Wilcox. What is a meme? Basically, in the blog world, a meme is a question that is asked on one blog and answered on another. SO in this meme chain, Ginger tagged me and asked me to (1) list 7 things about myself, (2) tag 7 people to do the meme on themselves including a link to their site. It is all in the name of good fun, and probably helps with “transparency” too. So here are 7 random things, all about ME!
1. I was born and raised* in Philadelphia. Grew up on the same street as both my parents. They grew up 5 doors apart. Had the same nun in 1st grade as my dad. My have times changed.
2. In 1962* my parents loaded up the car to move to Florida. Our car broke down in Smithfield North Carolina. Taking several weeks for parts (1962), my dad got a job and we lived there for two years before moving back to Philly, yes to the same street. Photo is me in NC 1963, check out the car in the back.
3. Well I moved to South Florida in my mid twenties. Met the most awesome woman named Julie, fell in love and got married March 3rd 1990. I once told her she had no sense of humor, she replied I married you didn’t I, that’s a keeper.
4. 1995 BC (before children) Julie’s Company opened an operation in Salt Lake City. We liked the prospects of SLC, Family oriented, conservative and we were wanting to start a family. Which we did, our daughter Cassandra was born in Aug ‘97 and our son Christopher Aug ‘02.
5. I have been in the Real Estate industry since 1992, before that I was a third generation house painter, I thought we would never finish that house. lol
6. I work with single mother support groups. I and a lender work together to help single moms own a home. We use our commissions for down payments and closing cost. I have always had a heart for the single mom, don’t know why. My parents have been married over 53 years. My wife and I have no other families… Homeownership is Good For Literacy.
7. I love electronic toys, remotes, smart phones, widgets, blogging, twitter. I like watching Pro Football, born an Eagle fan, I like pro hockey, not much of that in the inter-mountain west.
So here go my seven others and I hope I am not overstepping any bounds with them. If you have a meme already, just post it.
People I have met blogging, twittering…

Rob - loved learning so much more about you. How fun - glad you played! I did mine last Sunday
Thanks for thinking of me!
FABULOUS! I loved learning so much about you! I can’t believe your family stayed on that same street and you had the same nun in school. I love that you support the single moms and help them with home ownership. I can’t even begin to imagine having to raise my children by myself!
Hi Rob,
The girls from Southwest Philly went to the same school I did, West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Girls. Uniforms. No boys
45th and Chestnut, as I recall.
Didn’t leave the area until I was 43, so my accent is pretty much intact, as you noticed.
I’ve never been to this site before. I’ll check it out.
Hi Ardell, Yes it was called West Catholic Girls, West Boys was few blocks away. If you watch old band stand footage, you can see the West Uniforms.
As far as accents go, the way I see it is the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philly, therefore everyone else has an accent.
