Ringing and Singing ~ This One's For You Bob!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Buy and Sell Oklahoma LLC 172320

Approximately 8:30pm
phone rings
Glancing over to see a "Wisconsin" number.
3 seconds to consider
The Young Pope is recorded ~~~ I can press "Pause"
Solicitors ~~~ Maybe not this late
Sign Call ~~~ It could happen!

 

To my surprise it was Bob Crane.  Bob Crane, Ya'll!
The Pope was going to have to wait.

 

Bob mentioned the contest and a few details... but I was still trying to process the fact that an Ambassador was calling little 'ol me.  I don't mean little because I am 5'2" and have to keep a step stool handy in the kitchen.  No, I'm referring to the fact that I have only been in real estate for a year and a half, ActiveRain member less than that, and maintain what I consider mediocre "attendance."

While I had the Ambassador on the phone, I seized the opportunity to ask how AND more importantly why he is so active in the Rain.  Bob shared what I would sum up as dedication, endurance, and full on allegiance to the betterment of this industry.

With the clock ticking ~ and the deadline approaching...
I will part with,

"Thank you Bob for taking the time to share your words of wisdom, inquire about my well being, and champion me on to the next level."

This cup's for you Bob (:

Good morning Praful Thakkar (:  Thank you for saying that.  Was hoping it didn't sound like a short cut to highlighting Bob Crane ~ he has contributed so much to ActiveRain and was (like you) one of the first to reach out to offer me help! That is the quickest post I have written ~ most likely because it was going to benefit someone else.  Thank you for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day (:

It was an absolute pleasure (and honor) visiting with you as well Bob Crane.  Thank you so much for the "featured" post ~ and just minutes after our conversation.  One of my big take aways from the conversation is getting in the (unwavering) habit of writing a blog ~ soon it will take just 5 minutes to produce one (:  Have a wonderful day ~ as you have made mine!
