In My Brother's Shadow

By Collen Plummer

I was under my brother's age by nearly two years. His birthday is May of '54, and mine is June of '56. The moniker *ME TOO* came about since my uncle used to call me that because I was always trying to be just like my brother in everything. I started to beat him in basketball in junior high and high school. He was faster in shorter races, but I was faster in longer ones. That's when we built a relay team that has between ten and twelve national records. After that, I got quicker in the smallest distance. I'm not sure why, but we ended up competing against each other more than our rivals. I lost a lot of scholarships for reasons I'm still not sure of, but even though we broke both the national mark at Madison Square Garden and the relay team record at Spectrum, our greatest accomplishment as a unit was Jesse Owens awarding us our medals at Spectrum. You had best have the Lord in your life because you will need God to help you with the decisions and choices you make. I was aware that tuition reimbursement was offered by Fortune 500 firms, so I know that no matter what happens in life, there is always hope for the best because of the Lord. That's the only way I can survive. I am grateful, Jesus

After that, I create life-saving products for Johnson & Johnson and receive two patents for them. God is benevolent. I'm grateful, Jesus. One of the main reasons I wrote this book was after seeing a white police officer choke a black man for 10 minutes without cause; I make products that save lives, and here's this white guy choking a black man for no apparent reason.
