In think there's a big race coming up soon, maybe even 2....but I don't know for shore when.Nor do I know who is in it....or them.
Things being as they are,I should take this time to make doggone shore you all know how to pronounce Dave Schwantz and what it means.That will take some history and explaining.We need background music.

When this extraordinary writer was working in construction in order to pay for fine ,creative and intuitive if not absolute brilliant writing college....their came a time we were working at Naiman Parkway in Solon,Ohio and installing a gabion revetment along a very wide and deep drainage ditch. A cherry picker(25 tonner,don't ya know) sent the limestone via a concrete bucket to the revetment work area in order to fill the wire containers.
But I go off topic....again.
The developer had a project engineer by the name of Al Wontzki.Good guy.Had that upper crust air about him though,but still a good guy.One day he came to the site,not in a suit....but being the nerd he could be, he was dressed in a Rama of the Jingle outfit.You know.....trying to sort of being a ruffian without dirtying himself.Engineers hate filth.My very good friend,Tom Crissman and another good guy,found him goofy in that outfit and called him Al Schwontzski.Thus, the term"Schwontz(or Schawntz) was birthed.This is why I call NA's Dave Schwartz.....Dave Schwantz, as do find him a Schwontz(or Schwantz).
Each is pronounced in the same way as if the "o" or the "a" was "ah".
Are you getting this?
Schwontz and Schwantz are pronounced exactly the same.
And anyone can be a Schwontz-----or Schwantz. Example:Cardvark. Beginning to get the hang of this? I felt it important to explain this one out.
Thank you for your time and courage.
