I'm a huge Forrest Gump nerd, like if there was only one movie I could ever watch again. It would be that.
When Pretjah passed away a lot of members on the OG rallied together to raise money for his family. One of the items offered by DogofDogs was a signed manuscript from Forrest Gump. I asked him how much he wanted for it, he said what do you offer. I told him a number and he accepted and asked to just provide proof that it was donated to Pretjah's gofundme. I asked him if he was sure, he might be able to raise more money auctioning it off but he was good with it. So I did.
I received it in the mail a couple days later.
It is currently on the OG wall of our family room in the restaurant along with some other things I have won or bought from members over the years. I have had several offers much greater than what I paid and have refused to sell it.
My staff know the whole story of where that came from, Pretjah passing etc.
So anywho, back to the Christmas present. One of my staff members who I hired at 16 and has been with me for 3 years went out west for vacation the last 2 weeks and sent me this picture.
He literally tracked down the scene of Forrest's final run and recreated it for me. Without all the people of course.
That is getting framed and going right above the manuscript.
There are still good kids in this world.
