This is my friend's father, Mr. Alim Saleem Rajput. He hails from the Pashtun region of Pakistan. Mr Rajput came to America with $20 and some big dreams 1973. He has been a taxi driver for years, working 7 day weeks to put both his sons through college. He put himself through night school to become an American citizen, got his high school diploma and, just last year, graduated from college with a degree in economics. He is kind, generous and a wonderful role model.
Alim (his name means wise one) offered to drive his son and I all over hell and gone so we could take pictures of my wacky fursuit antics. He reserved comment on my suit, just shaking his head and smiling to himself. He has bailed us out of trouble many times when we were kids and I'm sure he thought to himself "Oh no, here we go again..."
Thank you Mr. Rajput for the chauffeur service and the years of freindship.
