    Leaving a Positive and Indelible Mark

    ByJoseph Paris January 23, 2020February 18, 2026

    As we get older, it’s interesting what we recall from our youth and the impact it had upon us – even if we didn’t know it at the time. For me, I was blessed with having several teachers who supported me and influenced me a great deal; those that left a positive and indelible mark…

    Meetings: As certain and as joyous as death and taxes

    ByJoseph Paris June 24, 2019February 18, 2026

    There are very few people that actually enjoy meetings.  I have never heard anyone say, “I can’t wait for the meeting this afternoon” unless it’s followed by “I won’t have to eat at my desk.” Certainly, the people who are called to attend a meeting largely lack enthusiasm are energetic unless they, or their project,…

    Hurry Up and Slow Down

    ByJoseph Paris May 22, 2019February 18, 2026

    I just got off the golf course hitting 9-holes with my Pop, who is 84 years old.  God bless him, I hope he has many more rounds to play and I look forward to getting out as often as I can with him.  We played the En-Joie Golf Club; a stop on the PGA Tour…

    Being Clear and Concise

    ByJoseph Paris April 23, 2019February 18, 2026

    The date is November 19th, 1863.  A crisp autumn day in the fields of southern Pennsylvania in a little farm-town called Gettysburg.  Just four months earlier, the fierce battle of Gettysburg raged there as the Union and Confederate forces clashed in what mark the decisive high-water mark of the Confederate efforts to separate from the…
