Niel Diamond: a Friendship Remembered
My story begins as I ETS'd (End of Time Served), from the USAF (United States Air Force), while living in Las Vegas, and continued to live there another 6 years thereafter. This would have been in the mid 1980's, and I was anticipating working something non-Air-Force, if you know what I mean: I kinda wanted to put the laundry out on the clothes line a little longer than usual, that's all, to just let the wind infuse and permeate the fabric, get the military smell out; not that it was a bad smell though, just different. I just wanted something different. So, I went, and took, and passed the test, and when people asked where I worked, or what I did, I could say “I am a letter sorter with the USPS (United States Postal Service), man!” Well, that only lasted for six months; as I couldn't 'pass muster', that is, complete the last requirement to become a LSM (Letter Sorting Machine—my life sure was filled with acronyms and tests it seems) Operator, but was able to later get on and do OK later as a Mail Carrier.
Between the two Post Office stints, I opened an antique shop with a good friend who was, well... into antiques. I didn't know too much about antiques at the time, but applied myself and took-to reading anything and everything about them I could find. I learned about Tiffany, Gustav Stickley, and Limoges; about Morris chairs, depression glass, art glass, old railroad watches, Lionel trains, and oil paintings. We even delved into collectibles like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Hires Root Beer, and the like.
We did pretty good for a while, peddling our antiques and collectibles, until our personality differences got in the way, and we closed up shop; or I did anyway. But, while we were still peddling, earlier on, John (I prefer to keep his name anonymous) opened up to me one day, and confided in me that he was best friends with a celebrity I might know. I said “yeah right, you know Don Johnson?” he was pretty big at the time, I think. “No, A musician”, he said, and I started naming off names--none of them right, so he finally told me “Neil Diamond”. Well, although I wasn't a die-hard fan—I was more into Rock-n-Roll, with favorites like: Boston, The Eagles, Styx, Fog Hat etc., not Pop—I knew a little Diamond; songs like Cherry, Cherry, Kentucky Woman, Shiloh, Forever In Bluejeans, Sweet Caroline and a song I loathed at the time, Turn On your Heart Light, which played continuously on the local radio station at the time, came into mind, but I was still duly impressed...

About the Author
I was born and raised in a country setting in Florida. Raised horses, hunted snakes, and ran deer. Always wanted to write, but didn't think I was good enough to get published. Forever grateful, AC proved me wrong on that account. Hope you agree. Greg
