Are You a Turkey Person?

Do you approach solving a problem in your community or in your life with a onetime swing at a solution?  Coach Courtney was told by a player on the Manassas team that the rest of the players were waiting to see if he was a “Turkey Person” before they were willing to trust him.  Was Courtney like those folks that show up in the inner city neighborhoods  once a year and hand out a turkey or a bag of food, and then disappear until next year?  Only when the students saw that Courtney was with them for the long haul were they ready to buy into his focus on commitment, discipline, and character.

Do you work well with the untalented as well as with the talented?

Do you look beyond the immediate flash of someone’s lack of skill and try to find what they can do well, rather than focus on what they cannot do?  As a coach Courtney saw that his job was to love and respect all of the players, not just the stars.

And finally, does the example you set, hopefully as a person of character, commitment, and discipline survive the test of authenticity?

What authenticators are watching us?  Are they our children, our colleagues, our faith family or our community at large? The best authenticators for Bill Courtney, were those football players, watching to see how Courtney responded to the losses as well as the wins.  Courtney passed the test.  He developed a relationship with the football team at Manassas that allowed for success on and off the field.

I had the luck of sitting at the table with some of the teachers and staff of Manassas High School.  These folks practice the same commitment, to the students in their care, every day of their work lives.  What about the rest of us?  Do we approach our personal lives, our lives as members of the greater Memphis Community with this sort of grit and determination?  It is a valid question to ask ourselves.  As for me, I absolutely do not want to be known as a Turkey person.

1.  Book Locket with Multiple “Pages”

This book locket is a reproduction of an antique locket.   When it opens it has two extra “pages” inside.    I love this locket.

2.  Watch Fob/Locket Finding  For Necklace

This watch fob is just about my favorite.   It actually opens up and years ago of course when it opened you would find a watch.   Now there is a large area for mementos.   Place multiple photos or tiny findings inside this wonderful finding.

Jimmy Ogle Tour Guide Extraordinaire

I have lived in Memphis for over 20 years have never taken the time to dig deep into the rich history of my adopted city.  It was such a treat to have Jimmy Ogle as our tour guide.   He not only told about Beale Street Landing but mixed in Memphis history and has sparked my interest to learn more…..he offers great free walking tours.   I think I am going to take advantage of these.

Hard Hats Required

We all put on our hard hats and prepared to see the construction.

Catherine Tatum / Beale Street Landing Project

Construction Underway

We were able to observe construction underway. Designs for Beale Street Landing were submitted by 170 designers, architects, artists, and other professionals representing 20 countries worldwide and 28 states nationwide.     The water elevation fluctuates an average of 57 feet annually.   With this in mind in was important to build a floating dock that would allow people access to the river for the first time in over 50 years.  Here is a look at the construction that I saw. Also see the artist’s view of  Beale Street Landing  will look like when complete.

Floating Dock a Creative Inspiration for Design

As a designer of custom gifts I was inspired by the floating dock design.   Jimmy Ogle explained that the steamboats don’t want to come close to the shore because it would tear up the bottom of the boats…so a design contest was started to solve this problem.    I just love this floating spherical dock.   It inspires me  to think creatively when I am designing my custom gifts and jewelry for Classic Legacy.

Discovering Common Bonds

This tour was eye-opening and I loved learning more about Memphis and Beale Street Landing.   We had a small group and although I did not meet everyone I did meet Kevin Sharp.   Kevin is the Director of the Dixon Art Gallery and Gardens.   I love the Dixon and in the back of my mind I knew that I had read something about Kevin that we had in common……the more I thought about it I realized that I had read an article from my college alumni magazine featuring Kevin……we are both graduates of Central Missouri State University……it is a small world!

 Memphians Learning about Beale Street Landing

At the close of our tour a group photo was taken.   I know I learned a lot about Memphis and the Beale Street Landing.    I look forward to continue to learn and to be creative.  This day was an inspiration and I thank the Riverfront Development Corporation and especially Jimmy Ogle.   It was a great tour!
