he had aquired a peace of land in texas to build a ranch on. he wanted me to come to texas and build a entrance way to the ranch. something that would get a lot of attention from trafic on i35, the interstate highway that passed by the ranch. he said he had no idea what he wanted but he figured i could come up with something pretty special. he would be back in canada (edmnoton alberta) in a few days and we could discuss it
this was the days of jr and dallas, and holly shit, god wanted me to go to work 60 miles north of dallas texas, not to mention that it was very exciting just to know i was going to work for god
i didnt sleep for 2 days just thinking about it and trying to think of something special i could build on the side of the freeway in texas
it was 2 or three days later, i shook my wife awake about 3 am, i said "ive got it.ive got it,,,,,,ill build gods logo out of brick " the logo on his buisness card was a horsehead , a knight peace to rep his company called checkmate quarter horses
a few days later i was waiting for god when he arived in edmonton
he was all excited about a set plans he had drawn up by the university in texas, i looked at the plans , and they were pretty impresive. i said well i guess u wouldnt be interested in what i was thinking of, what is it he said, i showed him a drawing i had done on the back of my buisness card, it was a poor drawing of his horsehead logo, i said , we could build this, he said, can u do that, i said ,yes,, he said how, i said, i dont know but i can do it. he looked at me and tore that university plan right in 2 :)
a week or so later jan 1 1981, we left canada for texasfive months later i left texas heading back to canada, leaveing the highlight of my life, the brick horsehead standing on the side of interstate highway 35, at gainesville texas
