Hello and welcome to FIFTY & FURTHERMORE!
To close out 2006, I will share with you some final nom-
inations for person of the year. I do encourage all of
you to think of who has been the biggest inspiration to
you this year and if possible, let them know. Too often
we don't express our gratitude. Take the time this
holiday season to say "thank you" to those who matter
to you. If you would like to make a comment or ask me a
question, please email me at the address below and as
always, I will do all I can to provide you with the
advice you seek.
As I always say, "life is too hard to do alone - reach
out!"

Question:
l would like to nominate an instructor that I had this
past year. I am visually impaired and I attended a
session of classes to learn how to live independently.
I had an instructor in the communications class that
was such a joy. She was so personable and made you feel
right at home. With her teaching, I learned so much.
She was a gracious lady.
I speak in the past terms, because of today, I learned
that she passed away last week. She is truely missed
by so many but she gave all of us a piece of her heart.
We go on to face the challenges of life more easily
because of her help. I am so grateful that she became
a part of my life.
Answer:
What a great example of mentoring at its finest. I do
hope you will pass on what she has taught you to others
who may also benefit from the knowledge. Sounds like
she has left quite a legacy.

What's the Deal?
That's what you'll want to know with the new and price-
busting ezine... Deal of the Day.
Deal of the Day is an online store and community that focuses
on selling cool stuff cheap. It started as an employee-store
slash market-testing type of place for our overstock inventory,
but it's taken on a life of its own. There one item a day at a
HUGE discount.
This couldn't come at a better time... with the economy being
so bad and gas prices so high, it's time to save BIG money on
great items. You can subscribe to this fun ezine for free. Visit

Question:
I would like to nominate the Mayor of Westminster,
Colorado as person of the year. Her name is Nancy
McNally. Nancy is the most giving and true friend
to all people. Whenever there is a Holiday she makes
sure the people who are alone spend it with her and
her beautiful family. She sews for herself and her
daughters. She works full time at a very demanding job,
does her duties for the city (in her spare time), which
takes an enormous amount of time approximately 30 +
hours a week and finds time to Knit a blanket for a
needy family for Christmas. She also knit or crocheted
blankets for all of the fire stations and for the Police
Department. She also makes covers for the protective
vests for the Police Department and embroiders what
ever they want on them. She bakes birthday cakes and
decorates them for everyone's Birthday at work and at
the City. How she does all that she does is beyond most
peoples comprehension but if someone is in trouble and
needs a ride or food for their house she is there, if
they are sick she is there and checks on them. She is
a great example of a decent and wonderful Public Servant.
Rarely does she get the credit for being such a caring
and giving person. She is a true Dynamo and a wonderful
friend. Most Politicians could take lessons from this
lady. Thanks for letting me tell you about this miracle
of Westminster.
Answer:
You are truly lucky to have such a giving and hardwork-
ing woman serving you and your city. She sounds like a
truly selfless sort and indeed gives politicians a good
name. I encourage you to print out what you have written
me and give it to her as a token of your appreciation.
She seems like a woman who would enjoy such a thoughtful
gift.

Question:
My nomination for Person of the Year is Steve Irwin.
To be honest, I never paid much attention to him while he
was alive: too boyish, too enthusiastic, too MUCH!
Then he died, in a totally heroic, totally appropriate -
to him - way. I watched the memorials, saw his family,
heard about his efforts to promote good earth stewardship.
His whole life was dedicated to helping and saving wild
animals and the wild places of our planet! So much so that
finally it killed him.
He was a hero way beyond what we expect to find in these
times; and he has done more to save our planet than any
other person I can think of. His work lives on, in the
preserve his parents founded with him, and in his wife
and children; and in the videos he left behind.
Steve Irwin is truly the Person of the Year; and his wife,
children, parents and friends all deserve this honor as
well! Bless you, Steve, and bless the loved ones you left
behind to further your work.
Answer:
Animals are an important part of our world too and can
provide us with valuable clues about eras long past.
Steve Irwin dedicated - and in the end GAVE - his life
to advancing science and preserving nature. His legacy
will live on in his family and the many people he
inspired world-wide.
