Darol White left his family and friends today. Today is the date of my dad's birthday, he too left his family and friends much too quickly about 20 months ago.I was lucky because I got to meet Darol White. And he was more than just a person who loved, bred, showed and judged German Shepherds. He was very active politically in his community. One day about four years ago Darol invited me to a meeting of the South Santa Clara County Republicans. I told Darol that I was neither a Democrat or a Republican, and following one of my idols, Malcolm X , I would never be one or the other!..Darol laughed and still insisted that I attend anyway!....I did and had a wonderful time with Darol, Loretta and all the other Republicans...Darol under stood that good people are good people...Darol White is good people!.( excuse the slang).I always joke about the three types of people...you know...there are people that make things happen...there are people that watch things happen...and then there are people that ask.."what happened"...Darol White was the first type...he made things happen!...Mr. White is special to me for reasons that are only important to me....and if you never got a chance to shake his hand and see that great big smile of his than you missed something...until we meet again my friend....Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
