Power Personified

Power personified - with a massive arms

Remember when you were in high school. So many characters and personalities. Here's one I think you are referring to.

Gillie Paul Bunyon in my neighborhood. He had a 20-22 biceps, and neck almost like a circle. Weighing 220 pounds, he stood six feet one inch and no fat on his body. I had never seen anyone like him in my life. He walked away when he walked. types of walking someone when they know they have nothing to fear. His nickname was Mr. Clean. It looked a lot like cleaning icons. Besides Gillie had no earrings.

on the baseball diamond, Gillie was awesome. His fungo shots outfielders in the game before the warm-up touched parts of the sky is usually reserved for small engine aircraft. He scared the other team. He looked like Mickey Mantle, and Ted Harmon Killabrew Kluzewski all rolled into one.

smacking softball is where Gillie excelled. His photographs were legendary. He was one of the few who hit the ball over the right field fence. fence was 270-280 meters and climbed up 40 feet high. He was the only person I've ever seen to hit a ball that soared over the fence to the Goldsmith Avenue. His goal seemed to gain height as they cleared the fence.

For me, Gillie has always been a strength, commitment and just a real good guy. He never used his size and strength to put another down. It was his way to the building.
