We Are One!By: Dan Hyde / Call to ActionThe date - October 14, 1987. The place –Midland, Texas. The event – 18 month oldJessica McClure “Baby Jessica” was rescued froma well after falling 22 feet.Over 100 million Americans (including me) were fixated totheir televisions anxiously waiting to see if our prayers were beingheard to save this infant. The result: a miraculous recovery that fewbelieved was possible.Why were so many of us completely obsessed with this little girl’swell-being?She wasn’t our daughter, sister or a family friend. We didn’t knowher. What was it that captivated so many of us that once she wasrescued, we all cried with gratitude and relief.Maybe because it could have been “my little girl” and we could easilyemphasize with her plight. Who among us at that time didn’t feel thetragedy brewing deep in our heart of hearts?As human beings, we are all connected in ways that few amongunderstand. Unfortunately, from time-to-time, we need a tragedythat we can identify with that instantly connects us in shared deepemotional ties.It goes right to the depths of our souls and it does so instantly! Thinkabout it. Reflect back to that moment and it brings up a deep emotionalresponse.That October 1987 date should be branded in our collectivesouls. That miraculous event that occurred nearly 34 years ago, did, forone brief moment, unite all of us watching.We were unanimous in prayer and hoped that “Baby Jessica” wouldbe rescued and well! When she was, we all cried with grateful relief!Then, everything changed.We went back to our “normal” daily lives! Sadly and predictably, ourvitriolic attitude regarding politics, religion and everything else rearedits ugly head again.Family arguments became another regular dinner event. We sadlyreturned to what is all too familiar to us.Why should it take a tragedy for us to pause and look at each otherwith a deep sense of connection? By reflecting on that event, perhapsour attitudes can change. I hope we do.We are all in this together and it’s about time we all recognize thatWe Are One! Don’t you think?Dan Hyde is a passionate and effective advocate for the seniorcommunity. He can be reached at: dhyde9@cox.net.37

Stupid Scam of the Month
Looks like Publisher Dan hit
the jackpot (again). The
best part - he doesn’t even know
anything about the hotel business.
Anybody think it’s true?
Once again, those are NOT typos
but the actual email. We know
scammers need to only deceive one
(out of the millions) but we ask
again: Is anybody that stupid?
And take a look at our No BS Tip
of the Month. That’s our Bill Blurb columnist Bill Caserta as “Dr.
Covid.” Check out all our scams videos on our YouTube channel:
