Dahlia makes the paper


Proud dad alert: Our daughter, Dahlia Levy, made the paper - The London Free Press - today:


She worked with a brilliant journalist (Dan Brown) and photographer (Derek Ruttan) to help tell a story that needed to be told. And while the outcome - some really insightful quotes in a great story, topped by a neat photo in today's paper (lfpress.com) - is laudable, it's HOW she went about it that sticks with me. She took the time to understand the ask, shape her thoughts, ensure what she said would add the most value to whoever would read the piece.

She's wise beyond her years, passionate about the communities that surround her, focused on finding ways to help others. I know it's part of every parent's handbook to be proud of your kid. And we are, of course, immensely proud of our entire brood.

They kick it and take no prisoners in everything they do - school, work, family, community, you name it. We're never at a loss for things to talk about around the kitchen table, or the Snapchat family chat, or the FaceTime video call from the couch.

But some days, they stand out by doing something even more extraordinary than usual. Today's one of those days, and I didn't want to miss a chance to share it here.

Nicely done, kiddo. I'm sure your fellow students will benefit from this.
