Message from Brendan Epps

I've recently been reading "Where Have All The Leaders Gone" by Lee Iacocca. It's a great read and a call to action. What struck me and drove me to write this message was the word curmudgeon. The instant I saw the word, I recalled an NPS TM meeting, where curmudgeon was the word of the day. Even after seeing it again, I couldn't use it in a sentence, but the point is the power of those words each week. They expand our vocabulary and expose us to something new. Pay attention to those words and make an effort to learn new words. Wordmasters, be sure to choose challenging words, words that will force members to grow and expand their vocabularies.

-Brendan Epps, past club president
