Phase Two of Your Life
Have you ever met someone, supposedly for the first time, and had the feeling that you’d met before? It’s a strange sensation, elusive and fleeting, somewhat like recalling incidents of a dream. I was involved in such a happening just the other day; even stranger in that the reaction went both ways. It was on a sunny summer day this past August. I’d driven over to Westmoor Country Club in Brookfield at the invitation of one of its members, Gene Haas. Besides his longtime membership there, Haas is also the retired executive director of the Wisconsin State Golf Association. He had asked me to come to the club to meet an old friend of his, John Manning. John also had been a member of Westmoor, had been its president and, in fact, had also served a term as president of the WSGA. He had retired and moved to the Sun Belt many decades ago and was now residing in Arizona with his wife, Carole. The two were back here for a short visit. Gene and I had arrived a little early, and were waiting for John in the clubhouse dining room. That clubhouse, by the way, has to be one of the, if not the most beautiful country club facility in the state. The panoramic view of the course outside, through the huge ceiling to floor windows, is magnificent. As John walked in and came over to join us, he and Gene exchanged bearhugs and laughs before turning my way. After Gene’s introduction, John looked at me, smiled and shook his head. “It seems to me we’ve met before, Jack. I’m almost sure of it, but I can’t put my finger on it.” I agreed. “It’s remarkable,” I said, “I have the same impression. And I’m stumped, too.” We went through a multitude of possibilities; the businesses he founded and ran while he was here; the organizations he and I have been members of; prominent individuals he and I have known; PEARSON continued on page 15
