What Amazes Joan Ganz Cooney?

Joan Ganz Cooney
Weather and all of nature including, very importantly, the animals who live in the wild create endless awe and mystery in my life partly because man cannot control weather (although we may be affecting it) and because it can be so utterly destrucive, and because man did not create the mountains and rivers nor all the animals that roam the earth. As for what humans have created, communications technology is endlesssly mysterious to me and I’m always in awe of it.

Kindness. It can change everything - and everybody.

Ms. Cooney, I’m going to have to add you to my “must read” list, along with Ms. Manners’ newspaper column on Monday, and Click and Clack’s national pubic radio broadcast on Saturday morning. That way, I’ll be reassured that somewhere, someone really does know their ass from a teakettle. Please keep posting!

I’m with you, Mugsy P. And Pappy always said to give a w-i-i-ide berth to a teakettle that an axe-handle wide.
