Turning to Youth to Bring Forward Solutions
(click to read in context)
I am constantly impressed by my conversations with my grandchildren — they are articulate, caring human beings — too often thwarted by disregard and disrespect.

Give them an audience and the opportunity to share. The future is theirs.
