Appreciating Extraordinary Customer Service: Honoring 'The Fred Factor' and Everyday Acts of Kindness Towards Others in Kentucky
In the heart of Kentucky, a series of remarkable stories unfold, each one a testament to the spirit of community and the help that can be found in the most unexpected places.
At Transylvania University, the library director has been a silent hero for an author preparing for an upcoming presentation. The librarian, whose name remains unpublished, went above and beyond in providing research materials, having a cart ready with more resources, and even arranging for pages to be copied and delivered in a timely fashion. The librarian also shared excellent information links before their meeting, making the author's research process much smoother.
Meanwhile, Doug and Shelia, a dynamic duo from Wilmore, have been hosting the "Bray-Flairty Family Reunion" every five years for the past 20 years. Their dedication to family is not limited to the reunion, as they also opened their weekend home and farm in Northern Kentucky to grow fruit and vegetables for local food missions. On the past Saturday, they graciously provided planning, food, drinks, and the hosting location for the reunion.
In a small hobby-business, Suzanne sells miniature flower arrangements. Her unique source of vases comes from her friends Sue and Sara. Sue, who works at a hospital, brings used medicine bottles, while Sara receives vases from her customers. This creative recycling not only adds a personal touch to Suzanne's work but also promotes sustainability.
At Wilmore Elementary School, teachers strive to create a nurturing environment for their students. Principal Monica Thompson leads this culture of care, where teachers greet students at the door with inviting body language and often offer "high fives." This warm welcome sets the tone for a day filled with learning and growth.
In a heartwarming story, high schooler Josh Nadzam, once on a path to prison, became the founder of a mobile art studio outreach in Lexington. His transformation was largely due to the unrelenting supportive tutelage from a caring teacher.
Looking back at the 20th century, Mr. Gilliam, a fifth-grade teacher at Grant's Lick Elementary, took pride in his background and knew Frank Selvy, then coaching for Furman University. As a gesture of appreciation for Mr. Gilliam's love of basketball, Mr. Selvy coordinated an autographed photo, which still holds a special place in Mr. Gilliam's memories.
Lastly, a friend from Crestview Hills demonstrated Hall of Fame-worthy service when they rescued a personal plan book from a local restaurant. This act of kindness not only saved a piece of history but also showcased the spirit of community that thrives in Kentucky.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of community, the impact of small acts of kindness, and the extraordinary lives that can be found in the most ordinary places.
