Unlike Will Rogers, he didn’t necessarily like everyone he met; clearly differentiating between colleagues, friends, and mere acquaintances. Despite a bad attitude that causes him to be mistaken for and unfairly accused of being a cynic, he thoroughly enjoys the tales told to him by family and true friends, traveling frequently between the East and West Coast (and occasionally to the UK) to gather their stories.
