Learning lessons from challenges of others
I'll be the first one to stand up and say that I'm guilty of using the word "retarded" in jest, without thinking twice as it left my lips. But sometimes, in order to gain a new perspective, all it takes is knowing someone with challenges different from your own. That's how it happened for me.
Gilroy loves a parade; embracing our ag heritage may be Econ 101 ticket
The Gilroy Police Department’s motorcycle traffic unit put on a nice bob-and-weave demonstration at our wonderful homespun Memorial Day parade. As the cars, displays and honorable veterans motored by and my grandchildren waved their flags in delight, I thought a thank you to former Mayor Mike Gilroy and former Councilman Bob Dillon and their cohorts for starting this annual event. It’s a great tradition.
