Great post, @ericvancewalton. You were an inspiration to us all in the way you climbed so fast to become such a highly regarded steemian.
How good you were propagated even further when I heard your recitation of "Alarm Clock Dawn" at the Steemfest.
Well done to you and I hope your reminisces adds support and encouragement to anyone joining Steemit from scratch. :)
Thank you @ezzy! For once in my life I was at the right place, at the right time. : ) So much in life depends on timing. I appreciate your comment, it means so much to be coming from a writer of your caliber.
