He thought nobody would care about the indigent. Where it happened, I don’t know.

However, I would have liked to know WHY the stranger shot and killed the vagrant. Do you have this information or can you tell me where this trial happened as I can then look it up. I am a screenwriter and this would make a great film.

I can only wish I had asked more questions when they were alive. It’s to share and talk with my grandchildren now. Thank you for sharing a way to communicate with younger folk.

He shares deep wisdom through thoughtful and engaging stories. I will stop what I’m doing every time a Kerrying On post crosses my inbox. His writing is so often a refreshing drink for my soul.

As you well know, we take a number of very different approaches to communication in our company, Menlo Innovations. We all sit together in a big open room. When we communicate internally, we don’t use electronic, we use what we like to call High-speed Voice Technology. We can call “all company meetings” by calling out “Hey Menlo!” We plan with paper, and post status on the wallboard paper displays with colorful sticky dots indicating progress. Some are very surprised by our use of low tech tools since we are a software design and development firm. Some are disappointed in us, because we don’t choose high tech for every problem. Much like your story, we don’t choose tools because they are high or low tech. We choose the tools we believe work better for the humans in the context they are used.
