Dear Editor:
I wrote this in ROTC two years ago but, it still stands as I’m a newly commissioned Army Aviation officer. It is with little bias, that my dad is a leadership mentor to me. My dad taught me how to shake hands like a man, how to treat elders and authority figures with respect, how to compete, win and play as a team member, how to lead, and how to follow.
I learned how to be on time for work, study hard, shine my shoes and how to change a tire on the car he helped us buy with sweat equity. He taught me how to play cribbage, chess and hunt and fish. Smoked a cigar on the front porch on my 18th birthday. I’ve never met a person who couldn’t get along with my dad, Doug Diny.
This pretty much constitutes my endorsement for Doug Diny for city council.
Nick Diny
