Happy and Wonderful Wednesday Everyone!
I hope that your Memorial Day was filled with memories and reminders of those who have served our country well. I was reminded of my mother and grandmother taking us to cemeteries south of San Francisco posting flowers at the gravesites of those in our family. And when we would travel to see family in Hawaii, we would go the day after our arrival taking our lei's to cemeteries as well. My daughter, Holly, works for a small company and she reports to a woman who travels to Oklahoma each Memorial Day to do the same. It is a tradition.
Traditions are a very important part of what we celebrate in ESA. It helps us connect with those who laid the groundwork of what and who we are now. Traditions continue and change. I have brought back some and hope to bring back more as we travel through this sorority year.
Occasionally through the year, we'll do a bit of "It's A Wonderful Life" Trivia - just for fun! Much of what George Bailey learned about people was from this actor who was brilliant in the role of of the villainous rich man. What was his character and who played him?
