[Evans, Marv]

Of course I'm retired, but during my working life I always wanted to be regarded as at least one of the best. I feel I achieved that almost across the board. My parents always told me to work hard. My father always told me to "Make 'em a good hand." I always felt an obligation to do my job the best I could even when there was no one around. Some people said I marched to a different drum, but lots of them were slackers. As I got older, I realized my parents were good at telling others how they should be, but were basically lazy themselves with no interests, hobbies, or drive.
