POSITRACTION: A Simple Act of Kindness

Simple Act of Kindness Marks His Third Day on the Job
by Good News Network - Aug 13, 20160

*** begin quote ***

Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can make a huge difference. That was the case at a rental car agency in Tulsa, Oklahoma last month.

After a hit-and-run accident left Coty Vincent in need of a rental car, she was forced to bring her two  twin babies along with her to fill out the paperwork.

Without a double stroller for her twin boys, she fully expected to spend an exhausting morning holding and entertaining both 11-month-old boys while attempting to rent a car.

That’s when John Goodlet, an Enterprise Rent-A-Car employee who had just started working at the new job, stepped in to help. He went above and beyond what was expected, scooping up one of her twins into his arms before starting to process Coty’s rental request.

*** end quote ***

It’s not a “life saving” example, but who knows.

Sometimes what appears to be the smallest of action can have a big impact.

In this case, kindness inspires.

When someone’s having bad luck, maybe we can all do something small to make it easier.

--
"Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

In the spring of 1986, 24-year-old Mike Carroll had an important decision to make.

A brilliant kid, he had graduated second in his class of 300 at LaSalle Academy, an achievement that earned him an engineering scholarship from Manhattan College. He used that degree to land a well-paying job in the new and growing tech division of AT&T. But something gnawed at this quiet but hard-wired young man who was coming to the realization that a shirt and tie, a desk, and the stultifying routine of a corporate existence were not for him.

Michael Thomas Carroll was born and raised in Yorkville, the upper East Side, working-class, predominantly Irish neighborhood where, despite its location in a city the size of New York, everybody knows everybody. He was the fourth and final child produced by the union of Bill and Jean Carroll, following brother Bill Jr., and sisters Eileen and Nancy.

Bill Sr. (1928-2012) was a proud product of America's Greatest Generation — Navy veteran, iron-worker, and then a fearless New York City firefighter. "Pop" was the larger-than-life, old school, family patriarch familiar to millions of baby boom generation homes. As a second-job steam-fitter, he had installed sprinklers in the World Trade Center. Until he retired, big Bill Carroll answered the fire bells in the night as a member of Hook & Ladder Company No. 3 at 108 E. 13th St. in the East Village. Pop's older son, Bill Jr., would follow in his father's large footsteps, eventually becoming a captain and in charge of the same Ladder 3 firehouse.

MARGARET WHITE
Obituary

Margaret Sullivan White, 88
Kindergarten teacher and mother of eight

Margaret Sullivan White passed away on Sept. 9, 2016, in Toms River, N.J., after a brief illness. She spent her final days surrounded by her loving family. She was 88 years old.

Margaret grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where she was the oldest daughter of the late Thomas and Margaret (Golden) Sullivan, and the loving sister to eight brothers and two sisters. The mothering skills she acquired as the oldest daughter in a large Irish Catholic family served her well in later years when she had eight of her own children with her husband, John V. White; he predeceased her in 2005.

Margaret, lovingly nick-named Dolly by her family, attended St. Ephrem's grade school, and Saint Brendan's high school in Bay Ridge, and graduated from Notre Dame College on Staten Island in 1950. She met her beloved husband, John, through her brother, Gerry Sullivan, when they attended Manhattan College together.

After marrying on Nov. 23, 1950, they started the first half of their family on 74th street in Bay Ridge, where they had Mary, Tom, Marge, Bernadette, and John Joseph. They moved to Tenth Street in New Dorp on Staten Island in 1960, where the family grew to eight children with the addition of Richard, Frances, and Vincent.

The Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish was the center of their educational and faith universe, where at one point she had six of her eight children attending the elementary school at one time.

Her life became even busier when she became the kindergarten teacher at St. Clare's elementary school in Great Kills in 1969, where she taught 90 children daily between the day and afternoon sessions.

At the end of the school day, she would come home to her own bustling household, where she tried to keep law and order, sometimes successfully.

In 1987, Margaret and John retired and moved to Toms River, N.J., and lived part of the year in Jupiter, Fla. They had a wonderful marriage.

Margaret's Catholic faith was a constant in her life and sustained her throughout her 88 years. Challenged by polio as a young child, she spent two years in the hospital and received what was then considered radical surgery at the time on her spine which allowed her to live a normal life. She was a petite woman with larger than life courage culled from her faith, which sustained her through the untimely losses of her sons, John Joseph, in 1996, and Tom, in 2002, and her husband, John, in 2005.

To everyone who knew her, she radiated a warmth and gentleness that made her so beloved and easy to be with. She was adored by her children, grandchildren, daughters and sons-in-law, and siblings. All who visited with her always came away with some of her cheerful and faithful energy. Even when she met challenging health crises in her final years, she was ever reliant on her faith. Her health aide, Aida Delola, was a godsend who provided so much love and support along with her great neighbors, Linda and Sam LaBrutto.

The essence of her being was exemplified in a school project interview conducted by her grandson, Dylan Jones, who asked her about the best ways to help others, and she replied, "the greatest gift to help others is the gift of kindness." This she gave in great quantity.Margaret is survived by her loving children, Mary Kudless, Margaret Yale, Bernadette White, Richard White, Frances Dailey, and Vincent White, and her beloved sons and daughters-in- law, John Kudless, David Yale, Stephen Jones, Dina and Ernie Karayel, Caroline Chauvin, Richard Dailey, and Donna White.

She is also survived by her loving siblings, John Sullivan, Peter Sullivan, Ralph Sullivan, Betty Haggerty, and Frances Sullivan, and her beloved sisters and brothers-in-law, Barbara Sullivan, Kathy Sullivan, John Brennan, and Patricia Sullivan.

She also leaves her many grandchildren who loved her deeply, Matthew White, Jessica White, Deanna White, Margot Yale, Dylan Jones, Olivia Jones, Leon and Johnny Kartsanis, Emily White, Kathleen Dailey, Erin Dailey, Richard Dailey, Colleen Dailey, Joseph Dailey, Christopher White and Andrew White, and three great-grandchildren, Thomas, Harleigh, and James, and many nieces and nephews.She was predeceased by her brothers, Thomas Sullivan, Gerry Sullivan, Billy Sullivan, Richard Sullivan, and Bishop Joseph Sullivan.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Bishop Joseph Sullivan Center for Health in Haiti, c/o The Catholic Medical Mission Board, 100 Wall Street, 9th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10005.

Calling hours are Monday, Sept. 12, between 7 and 9 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept. 13, between 2 and 4 and 7 and 9 p.m. at the Casey McCallaum Rice Funeral Home, 30 Nelson Ave., S.I. with the Mass of Resurrection to be held on Wednesday at St. Clare's R.C. Church at 11 a.m. followed by burial at The Resurrection Cemetery, Staten Island.

Let us pray for all the People who were lost in the destruction of the World Trade Center Buildings, the women and men harmed in the rescue efforts and the families of all the above. Also we pray for the incredible Flight 93 heroes who caused the crash in Shanksville PA. and prevented the plane from reaching Washington DC, and for all the dead and injured at the Pentagon. As we know and remember, these events occurred on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The following wonderful Prayer was written the following Sunday by our own parishioner, MICHAEL O'BRIEN who was in one of the World Trade Center Buildings that morning.

 

Dear Lord,

Our hearts are aching,
Our emotions are in turmoil,
Our outlook on life has become uncertain,
We're scared Lord

Please deepen our faith,
Make more fervent our love,
Give us a greater appreciation for our life,
And for all the gifts you've given to us,
Help us to celebrate life each day

Help us to be more open with each other,
More honest with ourselves,
And more committed to doing your will

Help us to minister to our own needs,
And to those of our family and friends,
And to listen with open hearts

We know Lord, that the power of one persons love,
And also the power of a community of loving people,
Can overcome evil

Help us to stamp out evil in this world Lord,
Help us to win with kindness,
Help us to win with love,
Help us to win with a commitment to always do the right thing,
Help us to look out for each other

Bless our loved ones,
Show us the way,
Help us to be love for one another.                           

AMEN

I will praise the Lord, for you have lifted me out of the depths. I called to you for help, and you healed me. To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: You turned my mourning into dancing; O Lord my God, I will praise you forever.    Psalm 30

COMMENT: Toner, Mike (MC1972) comments on Couric

2016-Sep-11

Reporter : Toner, Mike (MC1972)

Dear f. John,

In last weeek's Positraction you said (regarding Katie Couric's decision to take a pay cut to save some jobs):
"It’s no secret that I am “hard” on liberal media “celebrities” for their biased reporting.

In this case, I must “give the devil his due”.

That was a nice thing to do.

Given her low ratings caused the show to be cancelled, it was a hollow victory.

But kudos for the attempt."

Kudos to you for giving Katie Couric credit - but two points jump out

1. Not that I agree with equating Ms. Kouric with the devil - but shouldn't you be giving the devil "her" due. You don't think that devils are only male, do you?

2. You mitigate your praise by calling her good deed "hollow" becasue the show was eventually cancelled. I don't think this is exactly true. Ms. Couric left CBS News at the end of her five year contract. Admittedly the ratings were low but the CBS Evening News continues to this day - now with Scott Pelley. While I presume a few of her senior proucers were replaced, I don't think that there were many or any layoffs owing to her departure.

As always, thanks for your untiring efforts as CIC

Letting Life Take You Where You Are Suppose to Be: 9/11 Tribute
SEPTEMBER 11, 2016

*** begin quote ***

It’s funny how strong emotions subside gently over time. Two years ago, my youngest son decided he wanted to visit Manhattan College in the heart of New York City where the lacrosse coach was interested in him playing for their team. It took every ounce of parental love and logic to drive him there one Saturday morning.

I have always loved cities so when we crossed the George Washington Bridge, I felt fairly peaceful. After all I was on this trip for my son, not myself. After touring campus we decided to take the subway to Times Square leaving our car on campus. I told my son, “There is no way I want to end up near the 9/11 Memorial. Please don’t ask me to go there.” He agreed.

Making certain we would get on the same train to get back to Manhattan College to find our car after being in the city for a couple hours, we got on the same exact train we got off not realizing we were heading south not north. Because Hurricane Sandy had hit Lower Manhattan a few weeks earlier there was still flooding so the subway announcer made us get off at an unexpected stop to take another train north. As the doors opened, I was standing at the 9/11 Memorial. My son looked at me wondering how I would react and I said, “Well okay then….I guess I am meant to be here.”

I believe he is  in the final stages of his journey and work on earth for the Lord.

The link below is a 2014 article in the MC Quadrangle that tells you about this dedicated quiet man.

JNEWS: Dybeli, Amela [MC2009] seeks to switch careers

Meet Kenan-Flagler’s MBA Class Of 2018
by: Jeff Schmitt on September, 14 2016

*** begin quote ***

Business often acts as a force for change. As a young woman, Amela Dybeli had a front row seat to this dynamic, watching her native Albania embrace the free market after four decades of smothering communist rule.

“There is no better way to understand the fundamentals of a market economy than to witness one being created in front of your eyes,” she explains, “with the influx of the western brands into the Albanian market in the mid-to-late 90s with products like Coca-Cola, Ariel, Gorenje ovens and Samsung color TVs.” In the process, she experienced how such products enriched the lives OF her country’s people and fostered a sense of community.

These events left quite an impression. After majoring in finance at Manhattan College, the 29-year-old worked first at Deloitte and then Ernst & Young in Albania and quit to follow in her family’s footsteps to launch a startup of her own. Now, she is returning to the states to switch careers to marketing — with her formative years echoing in her long-term ambitions. “My dream job would enable me to continuously study consumer behavior and manage a multinational brand that is focused on innovation, sustainability and in enriching everyday lives.”

Re:        Father George Hill, College Chaplain

 

With deep sadness, I write to inform you of the death of our beloved Chaplain, Father George Hill.
Father Hill passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital, where he was in hospice care.  We are grateful to have had him as our campus pastor for the past nine years.  He was a wise counselor, a gentle spiritual guide, and a loving friend to students and colleagues alike.  Father George will be sorely missed in our daily life on campus; but we take comfort in our faith that he is present among us whenever we follow his example and  “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God” (Micah 6:8).
Today’s Mass at 12:15 pm will be celebrated in the Chapel of De La Salle and His Brothers and offered for the eternal repose of Fr. Hill’s soul.
In addition, a Service of Remembrance will be held on the steps of Smith Auditorium tomorrow, Friday, September 16, at 4:00 p.m.

Thank you for your prayers for Father Hill and his family.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

He shared many stories of growing up on Long Island, with sports being a big part of his life. He was an accomplished baseball player, playing third base and actually changing high schools to play a fifth year hoping for a baseball scholarship. Basketball was ultimately the sport that did get him the college scholarship. While attending Westbury High School, Norm was captain and part of the 1939-1940 Westbury High School basketball team that played its All-County championship game in Madison Square Garden. He was one of the "Fab Five" for Nassau County high school basketball. He later played for the Manhattan College basketball team.

He was also an alumnus of the Harvard Business School Advanced Management Program. While with Nabisco, he worked in many of the bakeries across the country. While in Chicago he met and married his wife, Peggy in 1954, continuing his career in Nabisco bakeries in Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, New Jersey, Chicago, and New Jersey again. He finally settled in Mendham in 1972 with his family of eight. Norm retired as vice president of manufacturing for Nabisco Brands in East Hanover, N.J., in 1987, having a 39-year career that was full of both personal and professional achievement.

He was a longtime member of St. Joseph Church, Mendham Golf and Tennis Club, and the Pastime Club, all of Mendham. He was also a member of the VFW Post 3401 in Morris Plains, the American Legion Post 342 in Chester and the B.P.O.E. Lodge 410 in Madison, N.J. In addition, Norm was a Little League coach in Mendham Township for the Coutts and the Colonials.

He was predeceased by his wife, Margaret McCarthy Dick; three brothers, Leo Dick, Robert Dick, Dr. Harold Dick, and four sisters, Jeanne Watson, Mary Lou Westwood, Nan Jones, and Donna Halleck. He is survived by three sons, Norman J. "Jay" Dick III of Bozeman, Mont., and his wife, Kelly; Kevin M. Dick of Chester and his wife, Lori; Bryan R. Dick of Sarasota, Fla., and three daughters, Barbara Jensen of Mendham, Peggy Crosby of Morris Plains, N.J., and her husband, Chris; and Patricia Murphy of Los Angeles and her husband, Joe. Norm also leaves behind 11 cherished grandchildren, Lindsay, Norman J. IV (Jared) and Brennan Dick; Travis, Eva and Dana Jensen; Sean, Colin, Andrew and Paige Crosby, and Reese Murphy.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Norm's honor to The Pastime Club, 3 Hilltop Road, Suite 1, Mendham, N.J. 07945, supporting youth sports or the American Heart Association at donatenow.heart.org.

ENDNOTE: Why men won't get married anymore -- the result of feminism

Why men won't get married anymore: Women complain chaps today won't settle down. Sorry, ladies, but it's all your fault, argues a wickedly provocative new book
By PETER LLOYD FOR THE DAILY MAIL
PUBLISHED: 18:36 EST, 19 April 2015 | UPDATED: 08:26 EST, 20 April 2015

*** begin quote ***

A controversial new book argues that the triumph of feminism has meant men are now second-class citizens.

*** end quote ***

Well, the “social engineers” know best! Right.

Not surprising that boys see men so poorly treated in so many ways that they silently have revolted.

And, society is much worse off for it.

In Japan, neither the girls, nor the boys, see any reason to settle down and raise a family.

The result is a nation that’s dying out by failing to reproduce.

Argh!

And, you know that the socialists at the UN are happy because humans are a plague on “mother earth”.

Sigh!
