In response to: Small Town Wonderers

Different Ways To Serve

I wanted to write in to mention what I believe was a missed opportunity from the January issue. The cover story, “Empower Couple,” was an engaging story about two amazing people, doing amazing things, with amazing amounts of money. I truly am impressed with all the Kwanza Jones ’93 and José E. Feliciano ’94 have accomplished and how they continue to help so many who are less fortunate than themselves. Immediately following that article, was (in my opinion) an even more heartfelt story, “Small Town Wonderers,” about multiple amazing people, doing amazing things, without amazing amounts of money. While both stories told about Tigers who are all clearly living out our motto of “in the nation’s service,” it would have been refreshing to see the cover story showing the latter individuals who have chosen to forgo lucrative opportunities to instead return home and contribute to their communities in a very different but equally (or perhaps more?) meaningful way. But then again, I doubt any of the Tigers in that story have buildings with their names on them.
