“Patience is not simply the ability to wait. It’s how we behave while we’re waiting.”
~ Joyce Meyer
the ‘ol men
If it’s true, that a picture is worth a thousand words, then this picture is worth two thousand. Wendel and Eric Weig met up in my office for some lively conversation during the two free seconds he had during his first day. My office used to be Eric’s office when Wendel was here before. We worked many hours on newspapers and a host of other projects, including oral history, out of this office. The filing cabinet to Wendel’s right is his old filing cabinet. It still bears his name. It has been passed around to lord knows how many of us over those years, just to end up in my office that used to be Eric’s office. I find the circuity – is that a word? – entertaining. It really does make me smile, just like this photo makes me smile. These boys have played a big part in my life. I’m grateful for them, and thankful for all they’ve taught me along the way.
