Lyle had all this pent up violent energy and we all thought that he would end up in prison. To his credit, he found the perfect profession to channel all this energy and made a success of himself. Even as a ten year old I can remember all the tough kids in the neighborhood used to brag about his exploits. There were always stories about who he beat up and sometimes even unsubstantiated tales of people who may have gotten the better of him in a fight. But he was known to carry a switchblade, and was always looking for a fight. It was amazing in the end that he was able to do so well.
