Marshal Angel Falls

How a boy received his name

All right, I'll give you, this Angel Falls is distinctive if
not distinguished. I would love to say that my moniker has
nothing to do with that big water drop down south of the
Equator. Or barring that say Mother simply took the name
out of "National Geographic" right before she presented
me to the world. But I can't.

Dear old dad had a burning, desperate desire to make his
mark in the world and starting a successful business empire
or curing the world of something just wasn't it.
His passion, nay his grand adventure could only be quenched
bobbing precariously over the precipice and then plunging
successfully down into the Angel's Abyss. Some have told
me that half a wish is better than none. I beg to differ.

So two score later here I was heading out into the world
with a name that you either run from or run towards.
Well it didn't take long to discover which
direction I turned starting
with a warm muggy day in…
