Inky Johnson

[SicEmSmokey33]

I heard Inky speak today at my sons football camp..If you have never heard him speak in person,you are missing out. For him to have the outlook on life after his life changing injury is unreal. So if you get the opportunity to hear him speak,take advantage of it!!

 

[SDV]

nice, get any vid?

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Nope,my wife had the camera...but it was a powerful speech. My 10 year old said it was his favorite part of the camp. I got a chance to talk to him before he spoke and that was the highlight of my day!!

Inky is the man.

There is a recent vid of him addressing team 117 wonder if it was the same message. If so, it is very powerful.

One of my favorite Vols of all time. He could have easily become bitter and given up yet Inky pushed forward and continues to show the type of character that more men should have.

 

[ncvol17]

A better man than most

 

[noshow]

Inky is just an all around great guy

He is a good man. Although every person I know that truly puts God first, like Inky, has a certain glow about them.Seems we'd take something from that? Must be something to it!

[AdoptedVOL]

His book is a great read - every VOL should have a copy on their bookshelf.

I think your name is fine........ I do have a question.

Do you have to change your name as your weight fluctuates?

I just finished reading Inky's book a few days ago. I have a lot respect for Inky and his outlook on life.

If we can get guys on the team with half the heart Inky has, we will be fine for a long time...

:yes:

 

[Larkin]

he has been speaking for a few years now and he is one of the few speakers I've ever heard who can make a room feel like crying and celebrating at the same time. He is a blessed man.

Inky and Lattimore's injuries were the only time I can recall my heart absolutely breaking and to the point where I actually got a little misty eyed when they happened. That's saying something since I *heard* Inky's injury on the radio rather than *saw* it on tv. Other injuries have terrified me or made me sad but those two broke my heart not just because they were freak injuries but also because both were and are outstanding young men.

I think Latti has a real shot in the Pros (the science and surgical techniques today are on a whole new level than they were only a few years ago) but even at his best his a finer man that football player and the same is true of Inky.
