I do not know what to put it, but I have always been a collector to completist, a statistician – and maybe little competitive.
As a scholarly in Canada, I’m bewitched a Guinness Book of records and Ripley’s believe that or not!. Memory records and amazing and amaze with my friends from their words.
Paul I know then that in 1994 I break the world record and feature in the book I adored that a boy boy, all thanks to childhood hobby – making paper bonds from chewing gum.
I learned how to do in 1965, age 14, after seeing the older kids in the tedum diggeth the fullness of their gum envelope in clean, long bands. I took it pretty quickly and entered the competition to those who could do the longest class. I have gotten the longest of the game.
Suddenly all the kids are in the neighborhood of their gums involve me to add to the collar. And also captioned my 1967 Yearbook Photo: “Gum Gum wrapped?”
I never knew how my collar has been until 25 years later. In 1992, my wife, Deborah, and visit Rippley’s Museum in Ontario. We have seen a giant gum-to wrain a collar hanging from the ceiling as part of one exhibits. As we are looking to, as well as I think the same, my chain is much bigger.
Deborah nudged me and said: “You’d better anything about it.”
I spoke to the manager and put me in touch with Ripley’s vice-president acquisitions. He was impressed by a chain, but I told me in the Guinness of the world record holder who has already one.
My competitive nature is kicked in. I went to wrigley’s editing department and asked them to supply me with juicy fruit envelopes – my favorite taste. I gave me 5,000 to begin with, then 10,000 more. Before long, I arise over 7,400ft (2.25km) record and reached 10,000ft.
I made a guinness world record holder on the longest gum in the world – at 12,105ft – in March 1994, and I have officially broken my record eight times.
So far, no one comes to the ceasing. According to the longest collar I’m aware of the fellowship in Germany whose chain is 17,000ft. I connect with other chain-makers on my way situation I call them “chain of gang”. There are roughly 50 to share photos of our chains and lengths we reached.
According to the latest official measurements, Chain is my 23,226 miles (37.4km) tall. Getting to the chain measured is not enough for an initiative. Every five-earth spies will come and two witnesses to independently to know the length. It takes several hours. In March this year, and memory that the bond is made up of 2,963.789 envelopes.
There have been many exciting moments for started 60 years. For example, when reaching 10-mile mark, I was featured in a book called Weird Virginia I don’t dubbed my “world’s biggest artist.” The fabulous.

In 2010, President Rippele’s Entertainment invited me to the New York, so it could not sign in 3 million hundreds to chain at the time squares in front of the press. It was such a no doubt. I got my brother-in-law help me load the collar in van and drive it all the way to the city where we are in a great audience in front of all the cameras.
I learned to hit the late Tiktok – A video of me got 7.5m views. Some people wrote: “Get a life! What’s wrong with you?” To this, I say, I have life. I’m already awakened now and happy career that is operations manager four businesses that make me all over the world, between the Philippines, Licinius Crassus and Germany. I am a busy and fulfilling person.
One day, I’d like to be able to tell me a chain as long as marathon (26.2 miles) – I’m only three miles. After the poetry reach 28 millions that is the length of Virginia beach in the US, where I lived with his wife with 2002. It is a greatest pleasure in the world.
The chain will get growing as long as your hands to keep work. To show something to show for the time in this land is very acceptable.
