The Slice

Paul’s People, No. 91

Notice the headless gargoyle behind us.
Notice the headless gargoyle behind us.

Nick Suksdorf has been in The Slice a bunch of times. But I had not met him until today.

Here's an observation he sent me that appeared in my column on April 9, 2013.

 

When schools allude to "early release" on their reader boards, Nick Suksdorf can't help but think it sounds like they are corrections facilities.

 

Loved that.

And here's a story he shared that I used in a roundup of reports on people doing good deeds. It ran on Dec. 24, 2012.

 

"My cousin sent my aged mother a Christmas present in care of me," wrote Nick Suksdorf. "She put 34th in the address instead of 39th as it should have been.

"The gentleman on 34th who received the UPS delivery took the time to look in the phone book to see where I really lived and brought the package to my house during that virtual blizzard we had (Wednesday) evening."

He told Suksdorf's wife he figured there was no way the package would reach its proper destination by Christmas if he simply had UPS return it to the sender.

 

Thanks, Nick. Keep 'em coming.
