Very proud of my son-in-law Steve who received the Community Service Award given by The Catholic Education Foundation of Louisville at a 700 person dinner last evening. Amy, his wife, is our number two daughter.
Steve, you and your family remain a powerful force for good.
Amy hugs her son's pooch. Our grandson, Kevin, lives in Nashville, is a TV reporter for NBC"s Channel 4 and will soon be married to Andy.

A true story. (See 1 below.)
===
I have a friend whose e mail address I do not have and it was his birthday so I sent the birthday wish to his wife and asked her to pass it along. Turns out they share the same e mail address which I did not know and this is what she sent me back: "To me:We share the same email. I get to see his nude women emails and he sees my shopping tips and coupons. H------"

1) A father told his 3 sons when he sent them to the
university: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible
education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want
you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my
coffin when I die."
And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a
financial planner, each very successful financially. When their
father's time had come and they saw their father in the coffin, they
remembered his wish.
First, it was the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the
deceased.
Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his
pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into
his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash
education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want
you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my
coffin when I die."
