Dear Reader, I always sweat it when it comes to this little section of the paper. This is where I am supposed to say something profound. This month I have a story to tell. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I purchased a silly amount of valentines party supplies for our daughters party.(She’s 16) Later while my wife was in the mall pick ing something up, some sleaze broke into our car and stole all but a few \tems. Not wanting to disappoint our daughter, who we had promised a great party, the next day Carla went back to the party store to try and replace some of the things that had been taken. (There really was a silly amount “$” of stuff.) When she told the shop owner what had happened, he started heaping on loads of extra things for the party, AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. He did this not because he had to, but because he wanted to. It was one person helping another, just for the sake of doing it. u 0 Your Decree Staff Editor-in-Chief -Ron Fitzwater- Copy Editor -Carla Fitzwater- Contributing Writers -Wanda Clark- -Matthew Esterline- -Monique Gill- -Kristin Haring- -Jeremy Morris- -Elaine Rothbguer- -Khalaf Spencer- -Renny Taylor- Faculty Adviser ■Dr. D. K. Campbell- WANTED!!! The Decree is looking to fill the following positions on the staff; Sports Reporter Lifestyles Reporter Event Photographer Entertainment Reporter Applicants should be able to meet deadlines, write creatively, work well with others and want to be part of the voice of NO Wesleyan. If you are interested in any of the above listed positions, or if you would like to be a part of the Decree staff in any other capacity, please contact the Editor-in-Chief. What makes this story important? That’s very simple. You see the shop owner is an immigrant from the Middle East and I’m you basic Mutt Irishman. But he didn’t see me as a white guy or an American, some of whom treat him like crap because of his race. He saw me as a person and I saw him as a prince. We were just two Dads who want to make their kids happy and he was in a position to help. When 1 shook his hand and thanked him for his kindness, he shrugged it off and said it was nothing. But it was something. It’s what Dr. Kihg meant by his dream. That two people, two human beings, could share in each others lives with kindness and brotherly love. It’s cool to have a new brother. ooujemiATi; Submissions Policy Letters to the Editor should be addressed to “Editor of The Decree” and e-mailed to the Editor-in-Chief at the e-mail address listed below.
