· Deep Thought of the Week: I’ve learned that I am grateful for what I’ve learned, no matter what it cost me.
· Notable Quote: “A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.”-----Helen Keller
· That's Puny Department: I don’t trust stairs because they’re always up to something.
· Did You Know Section: One of America’s most famous actors stood on a train platform in Jersey City. He was among a crowd of people about to get on board a train. As the crowd pressed forward to enter one of the coaches, the train unexpectedly started with a jolt, rolling a few feet before it stopped. The actor saw a young man lose his balance, and began to fall helplessly between the platform and the moving car. Thinking quickly, the actor reached down and grabbed the young fellow by the collar, pulling him to safety. The grateful young man recognized his celebrity savior, “whose face was of course well known to me, and I expressed my gratitude to him, and in so doing, called him by name.” It was only later that the two men recognized the haunting irony. The actor was Edwin Booth. His younger brother, John Wilkes Booth, assassinated President Lincoln the following spring. And, the young man whose life he saved? Robert Todd Lincoln---Abraham Lincoln’s son. With a helping hand from Edwin Booth, Robert Todd Lincoln became the only one of President Lincoln’s four children who survived to adulthood. He later became secretary of war and president of the Pullman Railroad Company.
