Join us at Madhouse Bar and Grill for a nostalgic trip back to the 1960s with the legendary Kenny Greer, a former track star and Vietnam veteran. Kenny takes us through his athletic journey, sharing tales of his transition from running to hiking and the evolution of track surfaces over the decades. Hear about his brief flirtation with baseball and how he found solace and camaraderie with the "Lunch Bunch," a group honoring veterans and community spirit.
Navigate the complex emotions of the Vietnam War era with a personal recount of being drafted to Germany instead of Vietnam, where cultural exchanges from rock concerts to the hippie movement left a lasting impact. Discover the heartwarming contributions of John Seklitar and his son to Patriots Park with their patriotic murals, and the touching story of sponsoring a painting for a life-saving VA doctor. These narratives showcase the unifying power of music and art across cultures and time zones.
Explore the tapestry of family history, dietary choices, and life transformations. From considering a plant-based diet inspired by documentaries to embracing family quirks and past struggles, the stories highlight personal growth and resilience. We also dive into the entrepreneurial journey of Mike Backewitsch, a Vietnam Navy veteran who turned career setbacks into a thriving business in the sports video industry. This episode is a celebration of community, the bonds of friendship, and the enduring power of family ties.
