Frankly, I was quite surprised when I got a call from Brock Jameson. I was at work when I saw that Id received a voicemail from an unfamiliar number with the area code of my home town. I listened to it. Hey, Dan, its Brock Jameson, from middle and high school. I just wanted to try and get back in touch with a couple of old classmates, and I saw that you were working not too far away. Give me a call back.
Brock Jameson had not had such a great experience in middle or high school. We both went to the same all-boys Catholic school, and he was always an extremely scrawny kid, so he got picked on and beat up by bullies quite frequently. I wasnt much better off. Sure, I was a bit bigger than him, but it was only my quick wit and humor that kept me from being the target of some of those same bullies, although I did receive my fair share of black eyes and bloody noses. Nonetheless, Id felt bad for Brock, and befriended him when seemingly no one else would.
