1. Gillian Gosman, my sister-in-law, is the type of English
teacher you want teaching your kids. Since 2014, the students of Carmen School of Technology
(Northwest Campus) have benefited from Gillian’s love of language. As a
teacher and adviser, she strives each day to help give all kids a better chance
to succeed.
Two of those students were featured earlier this week on
today's TMJ 4. Lio Navarro and Sunny Nguyen, friends since middle
school, are their class’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. They
will be first generation college students at the University of Iowa where they plan
to share the same dorm room.
The kicker? They earned full-ride scholarships. Bravo!
2. As you can
surmise, Gillian and Mike are quite the power couple! Mike was quoted in this Journal
Sentinel story highlighting ACTS Housing’s work to help low-income
renters became first-time homeowners. Be sure to check out the photo
gallery as well.
3. Wright
Thompson does it again. If the “The Last Dance” documentary only whetted your
appetite for No. 23, check out this remarkable
feature.

This
was such a good tribute for the great Fred Willard from some of his
peers at Hollywoodreporter.com. Steve Martin tweets that Willard was always,
“my comic hero,” and Steve Carell said that Willard was, “the funniest person
I’ve ever worked with.” What high praise for someone who was also regarded as a wonderful person. In Hollywood, that
might put him in as select company as his comedy did.
5. Less you
surmise (twice in one blog!) that Mike and Gillian’s children are slacking off,
Roger and George know how to find the limelight as well. Their shoveling skills
were featured several years ago in a photo gallery in the Journal Sentinel. Not only are the pictures great (5 and 6 in the
photo gallery), but the caption in No. 6 is an all-timer. Thank
you to Roger and George for taking time out of their schedules to walk us off.
