[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

"The elderly gentleman was seated in the booth directly across from my family as we ate dinner Saturday night at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon. We really didn't see him come in. But we did notice when our server, Dylan, dropped to one knee to look him eye-to-eye as he got ready to take his order.

The man apologized for not hearing too well. He had forgotten to put in his hearing aids. He talked about how he lost his hearing during his time in the war. He was 91 years old with many stories to tell. Dylan patiently listened giving him his full attention.

Eventually the man apologized for talking so much. 'I'm alone now,' he said, 'and I don't often have someone to talk to.' Dylan smiled and said he enjoyed listening. He then helped him figure out what to order and left to take it to the kitchen. It was a touching sight.

I wanted offer to pay for the man's dinner, but before I could flag down Dylan, a man seated at a nearby booth asked Dylan to bring him his check. 'Someone's already taken care of it,' Dylan smiled.

I guess we weren't the only ones eavesdropping on the conversation. After the man received his food Dylan came back to say he was on a break.

He asked if he could sit with the gentleman as he ate. As we left the restaurant the two of them were conversing and many people seated nearby were smiling. It was a touching sight.

With all of the negative stories about our youth today this was a breath of fresh air. I wonder if I would have been as kind and attentive if I were the one working there.

One thing's for sure, if you are ever at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon, ask for Dylan. If he's your waiter you're certain to get great service."

@RonFilipkowski Dangerous, unconstitutional, unhinged. School boards are ELECTED by their community, they select the superintendent, who in turn recommends the principal hire, whom the board can choose not to approve. Stop pandering to extremists.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump tells Moms for Liberty that as President he will allow parents to elect the Principals of schools every year, so if they don’t like a school Principal they can vote them out of the job.

@TravisSills @GregAbbott_TX This! ☝️

[Craig A Wilson @mactavishman]

@GregAbbott_TX You single-handedly try to dismantle Texas public ed for your benefit. The state-approved curriculum is based in research. You are using your power and tactics to destroy the system and then justify the results as our failure. Why don't you use your power to enable growth?

[Craig A Wilson @mactavishman]

@sauls_endrei @Coach_Cannata @CoachRossomando @CoachSamBlank @CoachStew_TTR @templewildcats @_Recruit_Temple @eron_sauls I'm so proud of you, Endrei!

[Craig A Wilson @mactavishman]

I did it! One more class over the summer and I walk the stage!

@GovAbbott Just no. Stop gutting Texas public schools for your own gain.

@nayibe_paz @OttTempleISD @TempleISD @HPGarciaTISD Congrats, Nayibe!! You'll be awesome!

[Craig A Wilson @mactavishman]

@CoachStew_TTR @coachfach @OttTempleISD @templewildcats Woo hoo! Way to go, Coach!

[Craig A Wilson @mactavishman]

Turning in my dissertation to see if I can defend in the next couple of months. Prayers and hopeful wishes accepted!
