Women making a difference

y first letter in 30 years about National Women’s History Month: “Women’s History Month celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of women in history, society, and culture.” “National Women’s History Month FAQs”

When former President Woodrow Wilson suffered a severe stroke, Wilson’s wife (Edith) “…pre-screened all matters of state, functionally running the Executive branch of government for the remainder of Wilson’s second term.” https://nationaltoday. com. Wonder what the conservatives would have said if Obama consulted his wife.

When Ms. Jennifer Garcia took over as Editor of the AV Press, I believe that she was the first woman in this position. She never got the credit she deserved. She was yelled and cursed at by conservative readers.

This letter would be remiss if I did not mention my mother and my wife. I remember my father telling me, “I would be nothing without your mother.”

My mother supported my father when he was in the Air Force for 22 years. She encouraged me on more than one occasion ranging from when I was in college and wanted to drop out of my major in accounting to being single and being made fun of. I personally have seen her reach out to the young men/ women who served our country to encourage them.

Garth Brooks saw Trisha Yearwood at a party. He instantly knew that he should have married her. Brooks would say that he married his first wife because he did not think that the right one was out there. I am not condoning Brooks for leaving his first wife and marrying Ms. Yearwood, but I understood what he meant. I am glad that I waited. My wife is everything that I asked for and more. Proverbs 18:22: “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.” (KJV). Vincent White
