So much happened between 1972 and 1973 that I would have to write a book about it--oh, I did--2 books--"Letting It All Hang Out" (on sale now at authorhouse.com hey a little self promotion never hurt!) and "The Looks Of Love" (only private copies available)--let's see: I, literally, walked away and turned my back on over $1 mil (to retain my sanity) and in my personal life from my partner (in order to preserve my dignity.)
I had a 'divorce' in court business wise and a 'divorce' in my personal life (I probably would have instituted a 'palimony' suit but it wasn't known at that time and we did live in Memphis)--though we did have many good times basically our relationship was destructive, co-dependent--the fact that I called him my 'hater' instead of my 'lover' should give you some idea of what our personal life was like. Business wise we were the perfect partners--he was a fantastic man behind the scenes and I was just as good being the front man. (One of the very few regrets I have in life is not that I broke up with him but in the way I did it--AWFUL!)
In 1974 I was in Vancouver on my one month vacation and on my way across Canada when I got an emergency call to come home immediately. I did.
In 1974 I had a new lover and I was the founder and owner of a new business and I was very pleased with myself mentally, physically emotionally and financially--all but the last would remain with me up to today (though the physically--weight wise--would get out of hand now and then.)
In this picture we had just opened a new class and I was introducing myself--look at those sideburns!!!! I gave Elvis some competition!
Where has all the hair gone in my later life???? :o)
