THE

CHANGE??

My friend, John Albrecht, and I worked projects in several countries together. John is a big man. In every way. An ebullient, infectious laugh. The biggest smile in the room. ALWAYS! Several of us referred to John Albrecht as Little John with Robin Hood’s merrymen in mind.

Whenever things were really rolling, John would say in perfect imitation of some TV evangelist, mid stride, what I just said to you above in my most hilarious, stentorian voice.

I sometimes estimated John’s size. The estimate was always made when we were in a party atmosphere. Whatever I calculated was forgotten by morning. But, either the estimates or the reality of the target of estimation and esteem disappeared by morning. But not my memory of John’s favorite utterance.
