Watch Police Officer Handle a Crisis With Toddler Wandering On the Side of Highway
By Good News Network - Jun 13, 2018

*** begin quote ***

It was a normal day for Sergeant Anthony Mannino as he was driving down a Chicago highway – until he saw a startling situation developing on the side of the road.

Initially, Mannino thought that the moving thing in the right lane was a stray dog – but then he discovered that it was actually 1-year-old boy who was running down the road without any awareness for the speeding vehicles that were dangerously close to his path.

*** end quote ***

Good police work.  Hard to believe that a one year old to escape an adult.

Glad it all ended well.

Guardian Angel must have been on duty!

COMMENT: Toner, Mike (MC1972) thinks Stanford story isn't true; probably isn't but who cares

2018-Jun-17

According to both Stanford University and the investigatory web site, Snopes, the story of Stanford's founding after Leland Stanford and his wife were rebuffed by Harvard is not true. Stanford, a prominent railroad industrialist - think one of the drivers of the 'golden spike' completing the transcontinental railroad - would have been way too well known and his only son died at 15, before he would have attended Harvard. So a nice parable - but not a true story.

Buffalo, NY

PS - Today (6/16/18) attended the wedding of soon to be (Dec 2018) Jasper graduate, Michael Giraldo and his beautiful bride, Gretchen Bauer - an RIT engineer. An amazing wedding - with best wishes to all. BTW, Michael also holds a leadership position with alma mater's student veterans organization.

[JR: Well, I’d NEVER credit Snopes as “an investigatory web site” under any circumstances.  Too much bias.  But it IS a nice “parable”; like loves and fishes.  Or an “honest politician” or “jumbo shrimp.”]

ENDNOTE: Trynosky, Stephen K. (MP64MP68) Charity is a matter between us and our God, or if you prefer, conscience

2018-Jun-23

As a conservative with a strong social conscience background instilled by both my parents and my teachers, it is NOT my place to TELL you to be your brother’s keeper. It is my duty to show you by example ME being my brother’s keeper and hope and pray you follow my example.

Neither you nor I should ever be coerced by government or anyone else into doing something we don’t want to do. Charity is a matter between us and our God, or if you prefer, conscience.

Stephen K. (MP64MP68) Trynosky
