IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY PARENTS WHOSE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WOULD BE TODAY!
On October 20th of each year, my parents would enjoy their Wedding Anniversary by attending the Ice Capades in Philadelphia, PA. Today would have been their 77th Wedding Anniversary if that had been given more time on earth. However, today my parents are enjoying their eternal citizenship in Heaven with God for all eternity. Each one of us have dual citizenship...here on earth and hopefully, eternity in Heaven. "Render to the earth what belongs to the earth and to God what and who belongs to God." My parents priority was their family with their love of life even during the days of the Great Depression. My parents had a wonderful sense of humor that provided a good substitution for the material things that many people today feel is the real answer to happiness. My parents never owned their own home; and they never owned their own automobile. They used credit wisely; and they always knew how to make the most with the least resources available. These wonderful persons were ordinary people who lived extraordinary lives in the ghetto of a metropolitan city setting. My parents lived the "spirit of poverty;" yet they were "rich in love" for their children even with the many challenges that life presented. My parents were very appreciative of persons who made a point of good conversations and social activities that were family oriented. Yes, Mom and Dad, thank you for the Gifts of Life and Love...It is great to be alive..Enjoy your eternity with God because you gave from the heart rather than from the "pocketbook or wallet."
You made time for all of your children even when life proposed many challenges. Choosing Life rather than opting to destroy life was never in your agenda. In God you trusted for your family! Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts thank you for your total dedication to your family and to the world in which you lived. You both made a difference and you have left a proud legacy that has been passed on to your children and your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May you rest in peace with God for all eternity. Happy 77th Wedding Anniversary from all of your earthly family! You believed in a hand up and helping others rather than a handout! You earned the trust of all of those who were fortunate to know you!

IDES OF OCTOBER, 2011, SALUTES THE TRUE AMERICAN HEROES
To be acknowledged as a true American Hero, many individuals and groups seem to determine their decisions on name, title, geography, and wealth. However, Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts believe that the uniqueness of each human being living an ordinary life in an extraordinary way contributes to American heroism. Do you know of anyone in your community that does this?
Many outstanding educators who have made their marks on the learning curve of Americans are often overlooked because of the blindness of the criteria established by the educational and political establishments. For many years for whatever reasons, the learners with potential for greatness and leadership were often "dumped" in the business courses in middle schools, high schools, and post-secondary schools. The business education instructors realized that this was an opportunity to work with students who wanted to learn technical and soft skills that would open doors in future careers. With the enthusiasm that learning requires, these dedicated business educators have make an difference in the lives of many individuals who have a proven track record of successful achievements. Their attitudes were developed and enhanced by a determined business educator who sought and accepted the uniqueness of each learner.
Today, Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts salute an outstanding business educator who made a special mark on business leaders through her work in the classroom and in her work beyond the classroom. She nurtured and developed future business leaders by her unique enthusiasm beyond reproach. She prepared competitors for the real world of business by her coaching, by her mentoring, by her leadership, and by her desire to make a true difference in her community especially for her family. Her multiple D's (desire, dedication, determination, discipline, diplomacy, distinction, etc.) was exemplified through the Florida Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda organization. Her many years of service showed how doing the ordinary tasks in an extraordinary manner may show the positive attitude of 100 percent accomplishments. You will always have a special memory for all of us, Sherry; may you rest in peace. You are a true American Hero! The Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts salute your par excellence contributions to American Education!
