Mister Stevenson was my neighbor for over 25 years. A fence separated our homes. I never knew this man very well. However, he made some good conversations with me by his house...and years later he extended polite greetings to me at Rainbow Foods. Those are important components to me.

One particular idea is in my head a lot...ever since one of my relatives died in 2008. It is that society regularly needs productive attitudes/productive decisions from all individuals. It is my assertion that every person should gain some credit/gratitude/recognition for all kindness that they deliver(ed) during their time on Earth. My former neighbor plus his family members are no exceptions. They all get from my heart the amount of applause that they earn(ed)!!!
