Dare to be great

Re “The upside of hard times,” Opinion, Dec. 15

On a cold, rainy Monday morning, drinking my third cup of coffee while trying to get the week underway, I read Gregory Rodriguez’s Op-Ed article.

Oh my, I needed that! Surely current generations “can show as much courage under duress as previous ones have.”

It’s not just silver-lining talk; I believe that our new Greatest Generation will meet the challenges of this terrible recession and unrest. Let each generation fully join them with their wisdom and hope.
