He had almost perfect grades, excelled in sports, was always the most popular person in his class, etc.and he was definitely the leader among us boys-at least until this incident happened.Īnyway, it was 1976, and I was fourteen. My brother and I have always struggled to live up to the standards he set. You see, he’d always been the best at everything, and a leader in everything he did. I pick on Kevin all the time, telling him he changed the story because it was the first time in his life that he wasn’t the golden boy. We often joke that Kevin’s story is about 50% fantasy, 25% outright lies and 25% true. I want to tell ya’ll a story about something that happened in my family.īefore I get started, let me say that my older brother, Kevin, tells a version of this story, but it doesn’t match much of what the other three who were involved in this story remember.

One was a newly built street at a new Costco. I have found very few roadways on which I travel which are not always in the navigation database. If you drive the same street locations or just major roadways & seldom go anywhere new you are not likely to get benefit from a navigation update.
