1 Dallas’ hosting efforts\u00a0\u2014 I volunteered for the Republican midterm convention. I want to commend Mayor Eric Johnson and all the city employees and residents for putting a good face on Dallas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police, fire, other public servants and citizens all made this event safe. It was enjoyable and memorable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hotels, shops, restaurants and more evoked our Texas slogan, \u201cTejas\u201d \u2014 friendship to all visitors. It\u2019s what we expect to give to anyone who comes to our city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’m thankful for those who came to Dallas and we look forward to more visits from these people in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2 Jean Huddleston \u2014 Re: “Goodbye to a friend, teacher, mentor \u2014 May all students starting the new school year have teachers like Mr. Emra,” by Christopher de Vinck, Saturday Opinion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After reading de Vinck\u2019s column about his dedicated teacher, mentor and friend Bruce Emra, my thoughts went immediately to my sister, Jean Huddleston, a teacher at The Shelton School here in Dallas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like Mr. Emra, she is dedicated to making learning fun, inspiring and an adventure for all her students. Just one of many examples is when she made a pancake breakfast for her students while reading about the adventures of Peter Pan. But mostly she is loving and compassionate and truly cares for the well-being and success of each of her students.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, I would like to give a huge shout-out to all the Mr. Emras and Mrs. Huddlestons out there who are invested and dedicated to giving our children the best and finest education possible.\u00a0
We are thankful!\u00a0<\/p>\n

3 A positive message \u2014 Seen on the back window of an SUV: “I hope something good happens to you today.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Simply by reading that message, something good did happen to me. It brightened my day and made me feel good. \u00a0Thank you for the positive message! \u00a0<\/p>\n
