When I first asked Ford if I could write a player profile on him, I figured it was going to be an easy task to take on. He's been around the game for so long and knows so many people from around the world. He has a reputation for being fair and honest as a tournament director and he is loved and respected by most all of the players that I know... Then why have I come up against the wall and not been able to complete the profile when the interview was completed in August?
I have been thinking about that very question and understandably come to two conclusions: 1. I don't need to reinvent the wheel on this. Ford has been around so long and his profile has been done before. I wanted to put a new spin on things and wanted to make sure that my reflection of him was sincere and honest. He is who he is and I write how I write, so... 2. I am going to have his profile posted by January 1, 2011.
I will be back in the very short while with some good people fodder. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday season, I know I will.
