In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth “Evvie” Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husband’s death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn’t correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy’s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the “yips”: he can’t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can’t figure out why.

Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she’s seen her fair share of them, and she’s excellent at dealing with other people’s tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to uproot her life and move to Boston, it’s an emergency of a kind Cassie never anticipated. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie’s old job as it could possibly be. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren’t exactly thrilled to have a “lady” on the crew.

David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters, and scientists. He discovered that in most fields – especially those that are complex and unpredictable – generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel.

They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.

Read “Donal Grant” – MacDonald George – Page 133

– Who will get the estate now? the count once asked weakly. Have you seen the manager yet? He, probably, will also want to insert his word here. “The title and land belong to him now,” replied Donal. — What about my poor Davy? whispered the Count, and his pleading, pleading look rested on Donal’s face. “That scoundrel Forg has already taken all my money from me!” “I’ll take care of Davy,” Donal promised. “And when we meet again, Your Grace—later, in the future—I won’t have to be ashamed. The unfortunate patient calmed down. He called Davey to him and told him to obey Mr. Grant at all times and in everything. Now Davy remains in his care and must treat him like his own father. The boy had to get acquainted with death quite early and closely, but for him it was not at all as terrible as for most children: he looked at her with the soul and eyes of a person whom he revered more than anyone else in the world. Chapter 84 Old Morwen Mansion In the evening, Donal again decided to go and talk with the Grahams, but, entering their living room, did not find the owners there and therefore went out into the old garden. “Thank God! he said to himself. “If my wife one day comes down here in the bright, sad twilight to wander through the garden with a slow, thoughtful breeze and quiet moonlight, she will not have to think that she has been forgotten!” He slowly walked along the overgrown alley, and met him again, as once a long time ago – so long ago, as if it were in some other life! Miss Graham came out. — You know, for a moment it seemed to me that Lady Arctura was walking next to you! — she exclaimed, but immediately caught herself in embarrassment and blushed. “Oh, my God, forgive me, Mr. Grant! How could I have been so heartless to mention her name in front of you! “I’m always glad to hear him,” Donal smiled. “I was just thinking about her. That’s probably why you thought she was here. Or did you actually see something? – No, no, what are you doing! “She’s still closer to me than any ghost,” Donal said. She will be with me wherever I go. I will never be sad. After all, God is also with me, and I do not cry because I do not see Him. I’m waiting, just waiting. Miss Graham’s eyes were full of tears. “Mr. Grant,” she said, “once longing and confusion lived in her heart, but now she has gone to join the ranks of joyful angels. And you did it all for her. God bless you!.. Please, let me call you my friend! – Of course, Miss Graham, of course. Because you loved her too. – No at first. At first, I considered her just a weak, yearning creature. Now I know that there was more life in her despondency than in my contentment. I not only fell in love with her, but began to look at her as a saint. No, really: if there are saints in the world, she was one of them too! She often came here after I showed her your poems, and in the evenings she often wandered alone in our garden … And that terrible Miss Carmichael! How she tortured her! – She, too, was sent to her by God to stir her up, disturb her and help her see how much she needed Him. Make no mistake, Miss Graham: no soul can do without Him! Then they saw that Mr. Graham was coming towards them from the house. “I don’t think the Count has long to live,” Donal said. “It seems to me that immediately after his death, you need to declare your rights to the old Morwen mansion, which is located in the city. This is the only property attached to the title. And of course, both of you will immediately move to the castle. I believe that among the papers of the earl you will find a lot of evidence that Lord Forg has no legal rights of succession. I would gladly write you a donation, but it would probably be better if everyone thought that the castle passed to you in the most natural way, as a direct heir. We don’t have to tell the world about everything that happened here; but if this is suddenly required of us, we will speak without any shame. Also, I would like to ask you something. As far as I understand, the old Morwen mansion is not of much use to you. Let me rent it from you. I would like to settle in it and open a school there. Davey will be my first student, and when others come, we will try to make men out of them. It doesn’t matter if they become great scientists, or great poets, or even great at anything. The main thing is that they grow up to be real people. We will try to make them more and more like the One who was and remains the only and most real of people. “But you’ll never earn your living that way,” objected Mr. Graham. Donal raised his head, looked at him, and the eyes of the businessman lowered under the gaze of the man of God, as if not knowing what to do with shame and repentance. “Ah, Mr. Graham,” Donal said softly, “you have no idea how little I need!.. By the way, you better take my will,” he suddenly remembered and took a folded sheet of paper from his pocket. Mr Graham hesitated. – If you don’t need it, I’ll hide it with me. I’d love to burn it, but it’s probably best to save it for now. Who knows what might happen? Mr. Graham resolutely extended his hand and took the will. That very night the count died. Donal wrote to Forg about his death, and two days later he appeared at the castle in person. The newly minted count met him in a large hall near the main staircase. “Mr. Graham…” began Forg. — With your permission, Mr Graham, I am now Lord Morven, he corrected him. Forg swore angrily, turned around abruptly and rushed out of the castle, not even bothering to inquire about his father’s burial. He never showed up at the funeral. When the coffin was lowered into the grave, and the priest said the last prayer, the new earl turned to Donal and directly and openly looked into his face. They walked towards the castle hand in hand, like brothers. Since then, Count Hector has not made a single truly serious decision without consulting Donal, and since everyone around knew that Donal did not receive a penny from the possessions of Lord Morven, his word was listened to all the more willingly. A few days after the funeral, he left the castle and moved to the city mansion of the Morwens. Leisure gossipers said that Mr. Grant profited well and deftly took advantage of such a fortunate combination of circumstances for him. If they knew what he really did, they would probably call him a blissful fool and full of suckers. Davy, to whom even the worst misfortune did not seem so terrible as long as Mr. Grant was nearby, gladly moved into the mansion with him, to live there until it was time to go to college, as the late earl wanted. True, Donal did not push, but rather restrained the zealous and capable student, and did not send him to the university until he was convinced that Davey was really ready for this. “That’s it,” he finally said. – I did everything I could. Now he must go alone. He soon became convinced that there was no need to be ashamed of Davey. You never know how deeply the teacher’s words penetrate the student, whether they reach the very vital depths of his being. This can be judged only when the grown-up young man is left alone and he himself has to choose his friends and comrades. Unfortunately, the most promising students often remain empty and unfulfilled promises. With the full consent of Miss Graham Donal persuaded Mrs. Brooks to move in with him and take care of his household; and is it necessary to say that he did not have to persuade her at all? The first time they approached the Morwen mansion together, they unlocked the front door together. As she walked through the rooms, Mrs. Brooks announced that the house was in a terrible state. True, there is not too much work for masons here, but as for carpenters … Here, for a hundred years, no one has done anything! No, it would be better for Mr. Grant to leave for the time being, and she will send for him when everything is ready.

Chicago Bulls

Horace Grant was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 10th overall pick in the 1987 NBA draft. He teamed up with fellow draft pick Scotty Pippen to form the Bulls’ forward tandem of the future, although he backed the incumbent Charles Oakley, one of the league’s top rebounders and defensemen.

which race is more conspicuous

Grant made the start in 1988 when Oakley was traded to the New York Knicks for center Bill Cartwright. He immediately became the Bulls’ main rebounder and established himself as the Bulls’ third-highest scoring player behind Michael Jordan and Pippen, forming one of the league’s top threes.

Grant was known for his defensive play; he was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team four times. He helped Chicago win three straight NBA championships (1991, 1992 and 1993), securing third by blocking Kevin Johnson in the last second.

Grant, who was diagnosed with myopia and wore glasses, began wearing prescription lenses on the court beginning in the 1990-91 season.

^{Glasses soon became Grant’s trademark; Although he eventually underwent LASIK to correct his vision, he continued to wear glasses on the court after hearing from his parents that he had become an inspirational figure for children who wore glasses.}

After Jordan’s first retirement after the 1992–93 season, Grant became the second star behind Pippen and helped the Bulls push the Knicks to seven games in the second-round playoff series before being eliminated. Grant played in the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, recording four points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes.

Orlando Magic

After setting career highs in points (15.1 ppg), rebounds (11.0 rpg) and assists (3.4 apg), he left the Bulls as a free agent and joined the Orlando Magic, led by Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway.

how much does it cost

On May 5, 1995, Grant scored the last goal in Boston Garden history in Orlando’s decisive win over the Boston Celtics. Grant helped the Magic reach the 1995 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Houston Rockets in four games. Grant spent the next few seasons with the Magic.

Seattle SuperSonics

Horace Grant was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics along with 2000 and 2001 second round picks for Dale Ellis, Don McLean, Billy Owens and rookie Corey Maggett shortly before the start of season 1999–2000.

Los Angeles Lakers

A year later with the Sonics, he was involved in a three-way deal: Glen Rice of the Los Angeles Lakers was sent to New York, Patrick Ewing of the Knicks was sent to Seattle, and Grant – The current champion Lakers. He helped them win another championship in the 2000–01 season.

Return to the Magic

During the off-season, Grant decided to leave Los Angeles and re-sign with the Orlando Magic. Grant was cut by the Magic in December 2002 after then-coach Doc Rivers implied that Grant was a “cancer” on the team.

Back to the Lakers

Grant decided to retire after Magic cut him. However, he chose to return for another run with the Lakers during the 2003–04 season as a stand-in for Karl Malone. He then retired for good after the Lakers’ loss to the Detroit Pistons in the 2004 NBA Finals.

Horace Grant Net Worth

Horace Grant is a retired American basketball player with an estimated net worth of $35 million as of 2019.

Horace Grant wearing glasses after eye surgery

At a Reddit AMA held on Thursday, Grant answered a question about why he wore glasses when he played basketball, which was really necessary , and later became a symbol for his fans.

Dr. David Orth, Bulls ophthalmologist, said Grant’s eyes were “not good enough to drive in NBA games. After Orth prescribed glasses to Grant, he “religiously wore them”.

That was until they became vulnerable after the Knicks’ Charles Oakley knocked them out repeatedly during the 1991 NBA Playoffs. Grant chose not to wear them in subsequent rounds, which markedly worsened his game.

After a poor game against the Lakers in Game 1 of the 1991 NBA Finals, Grant returned to using his points, which of course greatly improved his game in Game 2.

Ainsley Earnhardt is related to Dale Earnhardt

We learned two lessons here: 1) Listen to your doctors because you can win four NBA championships and earn an All-Star in later life, and 2) Horace Grant is an amazing guy who continues to wear glasses after surgery to “do it’s cool” for their young bespectacled fans.

Horace Grant got googles because he was almost blind. He wore them for safety reasons while playing during those years. A few years later, he had another Lasik operation that left him wearing non-prescription lenses because his grandparents and parents came up to him and thanked him for wearing them.

Their children and grandchildren laughed at the fact that they wore goggles while playing sports, so I continued to wear them so that it would be cool to wear glasses for children.

Horace Grant KOs

Horace Grant Seattle SuperSonics

Horace Grant was acquired by the Seattle Supersonics from Orlando on draft night, so he was inducted into the SuperSonics. “I’ve been in this for a long time, so I know it’s a business,” Grant said.

“Of course I left some friends there, but it gives me a chance to make new friends. It didn’t really bother me.

“The Sonics landed Grant, who played for the Magic for five years, on Wednesday night in a trade that saw them drop veterans Billy Owens, Don McLean and Dale Ellis, and draft pick Corey Maggett. Orlando sent second round draft picks to Seattle in 2001 and 2002 to complete the deal.

The Sonics selected Maggett, a 6-foot-6 forward who left Duke after his rookie season, with the 13th overall pick at Orlando’s request. Grant signed with the Magic as a free agent after the 1993-94 season after his first seven years with Chicago.

He helped the Bulls win three NBA championships. With two seasons left on his $6.5 million and $7 million contract, Grant wasn’t surprised when Orlando sent him to the West Coast.

He helped the Magic to the playoffs by averaging 8.9 points and 7 rebounds this season in all 50 games for his team. “I think the Magic just wanted to go in a different direction,” he said at a press conference.

Youth movement. They don’t know what’s going on there in terms of Penny (Hardaway). I think it worked for both sides. I am very happy to be here.” After missing the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons, the Sonics needed to find an experienced frontline player.

They could lose forwards Vin Baker and Detlef Schrempf as free agents, and it’s unlikely they’ll bring back center Alden Polinis. Polinis averaged 8.9 rebounds per game last season.

The Sonics will try to re-sign Baker, and they also hope to talk Schrempf back into the 15th NBA season.

In Seattle, Grant joins a team that has gone 25-25 this season, finishing ninth in the Western Conference. The Sonics are led by Gary Payton, who finished sixth in the league in scoring with 21.7 points this season.

“As far as I know, he’s thrilled with the deal and that I’m here,” Grant said of Payton. Grant said he thinks he can help the Sonics, mostly on defense. “I think my best asset should be my defense,” he said.

“A serious attitude. Hard work. And jumpers from 12 to 15 feet.
