Welcome to Ralph's Weekly Feature: Two Truths and a Lie: Guess Which One Is The Lie?

Terry McCarleyEach week, I'm going to feature one Active Rain Member, with their photo, and what they are going to do is tell you 2 Truths about them and 1 Lie.

The object of the game is to guess which of the 3 bits of trivia about them is a lie!

I will post the answer in that same blog at the end of the week on Fridays so you can all find out!

It's a great way to get to know your fellow ActiveRain members and staff.

This week, we will be featuring: Terry McCarley

Terry is a real estate professional CDPE with Jones & Co Realty - Serving Cape Coral & Fort Myers, FL.  Originally from Kentucky, she relocated to Cape Coral in 1988 due to her love of the weather and water. Terry specializes in short sales and waterfront homes.

OK, Here goes:

 

I have an assc degree in Business Management for Eastern Kentucky University.


I worked in aviation for many years selling aircraft parts and was once the "star" in a Champion Spark Plug commerical.

 

I dressed like a "Tramp" to blow a job interview forced on me by my Dad who wanted me to enter the banking business.

 

 

OK, gang. Tell me which one is the lie!

For anyone wondering, I am #52.  I forgot I wasn't signed in when I typed my answer.  So just so you know Ralph, I did pick #1 as the lie.

Terry, you made 32 of them happy! I'd say your lie was so easily detectable (and I do continue my streak of not guessing the lie for many weeks - except last week).

Bring on the next featured agent, Ralph..

Wow, I guessed right, too!!  I really didn't think she would do that to her Dad, and I did find a link which showed some education, and felt EKU would have been listed there.  So, it was somewhat of an educated guess, but a guess nonetheless!!  :)  However, the most fun here, is doing a little sleuthing and getting to know the person. 

I don't know if anyone found this, but Terry stood along side her friend, Sharon Stamper.  You see Sharon's 19 year old daughter, Leanne, died as a result of an ATV accident at the tender age of 19, according to the news article.  Terry helped organize a benefit for the family to raise money and support the Stamper family; hundreds of people came.   That's what kind of person we have come to know here at AR.  In a time of pain and sorrow, Terry helped her friend as best she could.  Please feel free to go to this site and read the touching story of how very wonderful a friend Terry McCarley has been and is.  :)

This is truly the meaning of Paying it Forward, I was touched by the article.  Terry truly is a wonderful friend.
