He also happens to be my grandfather.
I offer up a word to the wise careful how you choose your phrases. Living 83 years in Century 20, I have accepted much of the Century. But also rejected some of it, Keller shared in a personal email. The very popular Century 21 words, You know, Wow, and, That s a great question, are not in my vocabulary.

SALEM A council committee is recommending the additional honorary name of Howard Tibbs Way for West Second Street from North Ellsworth to Jennings Avenue.
West Second Street will remain West Second Street, but Councilman Steve Faber said signs will designate that section of street as Howard Tibbs Way to honor the late Salem native who was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. “He was quite accomplished and served his country well,” Faber said.
The Streets, Alleys and Sidewalks Committee of city council agreed Tuesday to forward the proposal to all of city council for consideration, with the source of funding for the three double-sided signs needed at the intersections and the style to be determined.

Operation Overlord, the cross-Channel attack that hit the Nazi-occupied beaches of Normandy in 1944, was the culmination of a grand strategy adopted early in the war, followed sporadically during the years of conflict, and aimed at defeating Hitler’s Reich by striking directly at Germany by invasion. As such, it was the culmination of a long series of difficult negotiations among the Allies, ultimately setting the stage for final victory. For the Anglo-Americans, Overlord was the decisive campaign of the European Theater.
