I like that part of the resoloution that contains the phrase "family owned and operated." That reminds me of the lyrics of a country song that goes "Just a good ole boy, not meaning no harm."

The resolution actually mentioned "family owned and operated"? I didn't know that was meritorious enough to warrant being mentioned in a resolution? If a faculty member became heir to their parents' business (e.g., the "green frog cafe"), should that fact be noted that on their resume?

Biography or fiction, we should option it for the screen, then we can "adapt" it a little. What a piece of writing!

Bet VSN about gagged when she had to sign it.
