PUBLISHERS POV :BY TIM O’HARA
People Helping People
This weekend, I was treated to a visit from my two favorite people in the whole wide world, my grandsons Charley and Noone (pronounced: noon). Both are pictured on the front cover after serving as ring bearers at a recent family wedding. Charley will be five in June and already possesses the negotiating skills of a master. One perfect example: On Saturday morning, Charley convinced me to take both him and his little brother to the Target store so we could buy Noone (19 months) a toy. And by the time Charley had finished, we had bought Noone the toy and Charley three more.
I think that Noone knows I’m a pushover when it comes to him, because he always runs to me, arms extended, so I can readily pick him up and carry him in whichever direction he points. And he points quite a bit.
Like most “Baby Boomers,” I grew up in a large family of eight children, surrounded by no fewer than 60 cousins. As a result of that closeness, there are always little kids to look after, which really goes perfectly with the CU mantra, “People Helping People.”
