Friends,
My name is Warren Norman. My dad, Ralph, is running for governor of South Carolina. Now I know a lot is going to be said about my dad in this race. It’s just the nature of politics. But I want to break through that noise and let you know who my dad really is. That’s why I’m reaching out on today’s $10 Tuesday.
My dad is a man with integrity, fortitude, and work-ethic.
In fact, there’s a story from about 15 years ago that sums all of that up pretty well.
My dad is a businessman. The family business he grew is the same one I work at today.
One day, we got a call from an older gentleman who had been a client of my dad’s about 30 years prior. My dad’s company built a house for him decades ago, and he was calling to say one of his walls had started to lean.
The gentleman informed me that my dad made a promise to him back in the 80’s. He said my dad told him that if any of the parts of his house ever needed repair, he’d fix it. Now I imagine my dad hadn’t intended to receive a call more than three decades later about this job, but my dad is a man of his word.
Even though we had no physical proof the conversation ever happened and it had been decades since the job, my dad knew he had to do what was right and honor his word.
So there was no debate. We did what was right and fixed his wall.
