Greene, who is also a BART police officer, buys run-down houses, fixes them up and rents them out or sells them. Real estate agent David Greene, of Discovery Bay, is photographed as he talks about a house that he and a business partner purchased and remodeled that is now for sale in Martinez, Calif., on Thursday, Feb. “I’m building up a team and just won Rookie of the Year for 2017!” said Greene, of Keller Williams, who was recently featured on an episode of “House Hunters” as well. Raised in Manteca, now living in a foreclosed Discovery Bay home he bought and renovated, Greene traded in his BART badge for a leave of absence from his eight-year run with the transit agency to concentrate full-time on being a real estate agent. He used to carry a gun, but these days you’ll find David Greene carrying a nail gun instead, since the BART police officer now rehabilitates houses for his investments.

No overriding theme, message, or agenda seems to unite Wolff’s work-only his interest in people, their quirks, their unpredictability, their strivings and failings, and their predicaments as human beings. The influences on his work-his friend Raymond Carver and earlier masters such as Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chekhov, Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway, and Flannery O’Connor-indicate the company Wolff intends to keep. For the reader, the result is full of surprises, insights, humor, and other line-by-line rewards, particularly in character portrayal and style. He has said, in interviews, that he needs time to get to know his characters but that the finished story no longer holds any surprises for him. Working slowly, sometimes taking months and countless drafts, he polishes each story into an entertaining, gemlike work that reads with deceptive ease. Tobias Wolff (born June 19, 1945) is an outstanding contemporary craftsman of the American short story. Not one parent-mother-of the hockey players had any empathy or approached Maya?

This could possibly be construed as a death notice, but more likely he is seeing him playing in the NHL. It also says in a later paragraph that the bass player Benji was dating see's Benji ten years later on TV. Amat and Benji are both the only two players of that foursome that are good enough to become professional players.
