Advertiser Forum: Remembering a Good Man

Anna Stamm

All human beings are flawed, some more so than others. When I think of Dan Holland, I cannot remember a time when he was anything less than a very good man. For more than a decade, I worked with Dan at WTCA/SBCA, both in his role as WTCA President and as Chapter President of the Mid South...

Advertiser Forum: What Holds Us Back

Anna Stamm

When I was little, being a fireman was never something I considered (see When I Grow Up from last month), but as a little girl there was the option to become a beauty queen. Watching the pageants on TV, I knew I had the self-confidence and talent to compete with anyone. But there was one...

Advertiser Forum: When I Grow Up

Anna Stamm

 . . . I wanna be a fireman! That’s not a declaration I ever said when I was little. But lately, I’m wishing I had considered it way back then. I’ve just discovered Chicago Fire in syndication, and it has me thinking that being a firefighter would be awesome. But, because...

Advertiser Forum: The Pretext of Being Diplomatic

Anna Stamm

When you are responsible for relaying a message between two parties, do you always tell the message as told to you? If not, how much do you change it, and why do you change it? Don’t Be Cruel Obviously, when it comes to altering messages, we can all agree that you don’t need to...

Advertiser Forum: Half Empty or Half Full

Anna Stamm

While sitting in my sister’s hospital room following her stroke, two very nice people from hospital security appeared. Using the security camera footage, they had tracked me from the hospital parking garage, walking through the night entrance, taking the elevators up to the third floor,...

Advertiser Forum: Three Types of People

Anna Stamm

We tend to think in terms of black and white, good and bad, but reality is seldom that straightforward. For example, take the case of needing to ask someone for help. In my experience, that leads to three kinds of people. Who Hears Your Dilemma Most of us are slow to ask for help. Perhaps...

Advertiser Forum: Rules of the Road

Anna Stamm

It’s been a long time since I took driver’s training, so I honestly don’t recall if they did back then, but I wonder if today’s young drivers are told how important it is to realize that many people will NOT be following the rules of the road. I am 100%-positive that...

Advertiser Forum: Selective Facts and Emotional Arguments

Anna Stamm

When I saw New York was going to ban gas stoves, my immediate thought was – damn, it’s CCA all over again. Making a complicated story very short – someone discovered that chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated playground equipment had leached arsenic into a playground, so...
