I gained my first friend and one of my very best when Denny Totten and I became acquainted with each other at age of two and a half for me and closer to two for Denny. I make the distinction since that was probably the last time I was was the more mature one in our friendship! I became a "BALL" nut, dodge ball, Central School playground soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, and finally tennis! I did go out for junior football for about two weeks, until a junior football coach pulled me aside and said, "Kid, your not BIG but your are SLOW, maybe you should try chess!" Now Denny became an outdoorsman. First as a hunter of pesky birds like sparrows & starlings with his first BB gun. At a very early age he ventured off into fields & woods that butted up to Olney at the end of Catherine Street and started at the edge of Denny's backyard . I think several thousand pesky critters met their demise at the hands of Denny the fearless boy hunter! All I know now is that I have lost my longest known friend outside my family. I was really caught off guard when I learned of his passing last November. He was instrumental to the fine reunions of the ERHS Class of 66! I miss him and will continue to do so.
I find people are the most interesting topic in the world. Little has meaning if it can't be related to people. Everyone has favorite stories to tell and I've really used my YouTube channel "The Undertaker Navigator" to document & tell several of my stories & experiences. Doing so has allowed me to further my skills to produce these documentations. What do most of us want? POWER? I don't thing so! We want to be loved while we are here and remembered when we are gone! Look over my stories & experiences documented on this page, not because of their interest, but simply as examples of the variety of ways that I can help you deliver an important message you want to convey, a personal anecdote, a remembrance of a friend or family member, your life story, or a testimony of your faith!
President Kennedy's Inaugural Speech
January 20, 1961
This superb speech is as relevant today as it was over 64 years ago!
General Douglas MacArthur's Farewell Address to the US Congress
Aoril 19, 1951
This superb speech is as relevant today as it was over 74 years ago!
President Harry Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur primarily due to a fundamental disagreement over the strategy in the Korean War and MacArthur's public insubordination. MacArthur advocated for a more aggressive approach, including potential attacks on China, while Truman favored a limited war and diplomatic solutions. MacArthur's public criticism of Truman's policies violated the principle of civilian control over the military, leading to his dismissal.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Personal Stories from Insta-Doodle
Insta-Doodle is one of my AI video creation tools. It produces a unique and almost colloquial way of telling a story, I really like it! I hope you will too!
NO NECK KNOX

The Crew's Night Out!
A Bully Gets the Pleasure
of Meeting My Sister!
The Avid Communist!
The Good Doctor!
JIMBO'S JOURNEY!
This is a lovely story told through the Insta-Doodle format. It epitomizes my belief that everyone has a pletora of interesting significant "Y's" on their road of life. Seemingly insignicant in the beginning, but ultimately forcing important alternative choices that truly changes the way one lives a life!
Artificial Intelligence is fantastic at creating almost any object, if the required prompt is precise & accurate. However it is far from perfect as seen here. I ask my AI image generator to "Show me in my 1968 Mercury Cougar with a slightly dark green lower body & black vinyl top at rest 150 yards off the main road in the south Texas desert terrain." Somehow, AI felt that my left leg needed to "rest" through the car's driver-side door!
This Insta-Doodle video is my version of "The Graduate" & Dustin Hoffman's character in the movie: BENJAMIN BRADDOCK. I was 21 in 1969, my story primarily takes place prior to graduation from Indiana University in June of 1970. In history and in my life, 1969 was a watershed year. Woodstock, Stonewall riots, The Manson Murders, and The Moon Landing that personally occupies a significant point in my life as you will see in my longest video. Like "Benjamin" I wanted to break free of "others" supervising how I was to live my life, especially my big sister! This was first accomplished by moving to Austin Texas for the summer of 1969 when it was just a large college town of around 250,000. In comparision, it is now a metropolitan area of over two million, over twice as large as St. Louis, Missouri! Then by taking my one & only "SPRING BREAK" over my Christmas holiday of 1969! My AI software threw me a couple of comical curveballs of which I will only mention once in this intro. My friend's nickname is "PUG." The AI visually gave me a pug dog early on in the video whenever my script mentioned my friend's nickname. Who says AI doesn't have a sense of humor? I have to end this description by commenting on my chosen "THUMBNAIL" for this video on YouTube. It is a reject AI created image of my 1968 Mercury Cougar & me on the road between Loredo and Houston. My leg is has miraculously passed through the car door with my left foot on the ground! AI is far from perfect! Hope you enjoy my longest presentation to date.

My Personal Fantasy Images
One of my fantasy situations is having a nice Mediterranean lunch with Farrah Fawcett on my yacht anchored just off the French Riviera.
I enjoyed this fantasy so much I made two of them and liked this second one even better than the first one!
This was my very first fantasy image, sharing a Central Park bench in New York City with Marilyn Monroe!

My Actual Digital Art!
In Hots Springs Village we have a restaurant that has changed names, themes, owners & menus approximately 6 times in 9 years - not an enviable track record! The newest venture is off to a good start and I am hoping I can help by adding some Pizzazz to the interior of the establishment by decorating with my newly created collection of sunsets! The new name of this restaurant is "The Sunset Grill!" At this time my printing capabilities are quite good but as striking as canvas frame reproductions that I highly recommend! My images can be converted to vibrant canvases like shown in the image that I took of some of my fantasy art & used a third party to produce the canvas reproductions. The colors stand out so well in this product. I am always lookong for feedback so let me know what you think. email at darreluss@gmail.com
