If you think old age means to quick exercising, slow down and past the time  away knitting in your rocking chair, ask 95-year-old Ada Keeling what’s her secret for staying young and fit. If life has not been good to you, still it’s no reason to despond and complain.

Birthday Wishes: Sandy White

Sandy White

I’ve known Sandy White for over two  decades.  My daughter is 24, and I met Sandy before her birth. Sandy was a friend of the noted local journalist Carl R. Allen (1955-1999), father of my daughter Corrie E. Allen. We met through Carl and have maintained a friendship ever since.

Sandy is very active in the local community and long time member of the Harriet Tubman Club. She formerly worked at one of the local television stations as a popular anchorwoman and recently obtained a Master’s degree in Urban Planning. She is a consultant and president of her own company, Mustard Seed Consulting Group.

Kudos!

A Heroine: Cariol Holloman Horne, birthday wishes

Officer Cariol Holloman Horne, outside hearing room, Buffalo Police Headquarters with Ken Nixon & A. Pendergrass

Imagine after 20 years in the Buffalo Police Department almost nearing retirement being wrongfully fired from your job unable to collect a pension cast out into the street with no other means of supporting a family.  And it happened to Cariol Holloman Horne, a former Buffalo Police Officer.

She’s turning a bit older, wiser and better. To many she is still Officer Cariol Holloman Horne who unjustly lost her patrolwoman job in a series of wrongful accusations.

But she is a strong woman resolute in her convictions, surviving when others would have broken down and given up.   The incident happened four years ago on November 6, 2008 when Office Cariol Horne attempted to “prevent a suspect from being choked to death by another officer as she explained.  (  Lt. Officer Greg Kwiatkowski placed on paid suspension  from the Buffalo Police for assaulting another police officer this year).

All honors and praises to this wonderful African-American woman, mother and still Officer Horne  to those who stood by her and continue to support her.  Happy Birthday .

birthday wishes to the beautiful Cariol Holloman Horne
