I enjoy hearing stories from different perspectives. I started thinking about stories that involve my father, Randy Watts. As I thought of these stories, I wondered if I was remembering the details of the events correctly or not. I then thought, I wonder if my dad even remembers the events correctly. And finally, I thought, who cares!
I thought someone might be interested to hear some of the stories from both of our perspectives. Likely both versions of the events will contain errors but that’s okay. I plan to post a story every so often, when I find the time and think of something potentially interesting. I will then share my version with my dad and ask for his version of the story. I will then post his version for comparison. I will edit this original post to include links to the new stories when (if) they are posted.
I realize that these will be long posts and not something everyone is into. But I hope someone finds something interesting in the stories. Perhaps it spurs on other stories or memories you have of your father/mother, son/daughter, coach, self, teammate, or someone else influential in your life. Feel free to let the discussion roll. 😊
