Sheridan had texted me this earlier this year, at the end of a rant.
There wasn't any detail about what was the "proudest moment of my life"...but Sheridan has spoken elsewhere about how the proudest moment of his life was the birth of his two kids with the 2nd wife.
He supposedly had kids with the first wife also, according to the 2010 Bruce interview with Alden. I wonder why he doesn't talk about those kids with as much pride?
It's not at all clear from context what Sheridan was talking about here. He had just ranted about the almost-fight with Sailshaw.
In terms of exploring Sheridan's character, for all his niceness, he does have that Marine-grunt enjoyment of calling someone a sonofabitch
Sheridan texted:
Bruce is really a sonofabitch to write Sailshaw's lies as truths . And Bruce made up a lot of lies of his like converting the proudest moment of my life into the worst. Lots of people read that garbage and consider it truth. Mark does.I've also wondered where Sheridan met his Filipina 2nd wife. Was it Vietnam? Or, did he meet her while teaching at Clark Air Base in the Phillipines before Vietnam. That yearbook photo of Sheridan that circulates was from a DZ.com post of mine.
It's extracted from the yearbook for Wagner High School, 1966, where he taught (English I think it was, forget). There were two pictures of him in the yearbook.
I liked that one because it was a little closer to 1971 than the Boeing News article photo, although the smile does change things.
I'm going to post another pic that I think is of him from the 1966 Wagner High School yearbook. You won't believe what it says (and I was so proud of myself finding the 1966 Wagner High School yearbook back then in 2008!)
