Carol Perkins: The measure of a man 'Dakota Meyer: The world is amazed and happy, but we Kentuckians are pumped up with pride.' -CAROL PERKINS The next earlier Carol Perkins column: Calamity at the Checkout Counter By Carol Perkins The measure of a man is in his actions and not his words. Dakota Meyer is a man of great measure. Although we sometimes feel this world is short on men like him, I am positive great ones surround us but we may never know their heroic deeds. Dakota Meyer acted unselfishly and valiantly and in disobeying an order, he acted with no concern for his own future. When he said, "I didn't wonder if I would die, but wondered when I would die," I thought about young men his age and wondered how many would have done the same.

But one raymond Driscoll, was captured in Indianapolis and later fingered by a hostage/witness, Pete Garvin, and by the Jeffries Hotel proprietor, G.C. Jeffries.

Chuck Hinman IJMA No. 169: Living with Macular Degeneration It's Just Me Again. No. 169 Living with Macular Degeneration Is Chuck Hinman your favorite Sunday with CM columnist, as many tell us? If so, we hope you'll drop him a line by email. Reader comments to CM are appreciated, as are emails directly to Mr. Hinman at: charles.hinman@sbcglobal.net The next previous Chuck Hinman column, Chuck Hinman IJMA No. 116: The Flour Mill at Blue Rapids, Kansas By Chuck Hinman Up until seven years ago (2004), I was coasting along in retirement with the common age-related infirmities. You know, stuff like hearing loss, blood-pressure a little on the high side, worn out knees but not bad enough to be replaced. I did not have any big stuff like cancer or diabetes. My life-style did not change from pre-retirement days. I had no need for aspirin, etc. for discomforts. I didn't have aches and pains and I attribute running three quarters of the way around the world in my running days for my longevity. Certainly I am not discounting the grace of God and His interest in my goings and comings. Then this "new kid on the block" barged in and messed up my life. He goes by his initials, AMD. Let me tell you what happened. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2011-10-02 03:13:46 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Chuck Hinman - Reminiscences
