Looking Back By Jeff Beilfuss
This is the last and 24th edition of Rambling Roads that I have been privileged to write during my two-years of service as Road Captain. I don’t remember how I got the job but do remember wondering how I was going to do it. When you look at your predecessors you can’t help but be in awe at the shoes you have to fill. Or maybe you’re thinking you really want this job because your superior ability beckons you to the call. OK, so I exaggerate a little bit, my feet are bigger so my shoes are bigger, but any new job infuses the green recruit with a modicum of doubt as to how he will perform and be viewed by others. As with any other job you quickly learn to just make it your own. You can’t be someone else. This is not the hardest job in the world. There are no wars to fight or collapsing economies to save. There is an Assistant Road Captain who handles some of the tasks and fills in when the Captain is away; and there are others who volunteer when both are away. You don’t need to check your e-mail while out of town or have a Blackberry with help such as this. Just ring up your substitute, and you are carefree until you return. The other opportunities presented to the Road Captain are as follows:
There, that’s not so hard, is it?
Ramble On.
