Gloria Ferris for Cleveland City School Board


I desperately wanted to write about Gloria’s advancing in the process to become a Cleveland Metropolitan School District school board member before I left for Go Run because obviously she’s a woman seeking office (even though it’s an appointment), but I ran out of time. (You can see more about the board here.)

However, anyone who knows Gloria Ferris at all knows how passionate she is, what a doer she is and how she puts her time and energy into incredibly vital community issues.  I tell her this constantly, but she’s an enormous inspiration to me, the epitome of someone who simply does not accept things as they are when they aren’t what they should be, and someone who seeks out and uses any and all resources to improve whatever it is that needs improvement.

Good luck, Gloria.  I can’t imagine anyone better suited to the task than you. They should be so lucky to fill the board with as many Gloria Ferrises as possible.

    Thanks for the plug. The Friday interview seems to have gone well. Stay tuned.

    Bon voyage with Go Run. Is that a takeoff on Go Figure?

    And, congratulations, too, in this space to your mom and dad, up one. We enjoyed meeting them when they showed up for MTB–I guess that was already a couple of years ago.

    Tim – I’m definitely staying tuned. I wish I lived in the district so I could lobby for her.

    Thanks for the kudos to my folks – they had a lovely day yesterday from what I understand – I’ll be seeing them pretty soon.

    As for Go Run!, you crack me up, lol. No – it’s Go Vote! Go Run! Go Lead! Go Girl! I’ve got a great t-shirt to show it off.
