What's In A Name?

Jeff Feuerstein: 

Well I guess it depends on what name it is and how it’s used.  Rather than prattle on about financial advising or my relatively recent title of AWMA-Accredited Wealth Management Advisor or even tell a story or two about what advising means to different folks, I thought to tell of my most favorite, playful, GrandDa title of late being known as “Kemosahbee” from my grandson, Brody.

Sure, I know it’s a loosely interpreted fictional name for the Lone Ranger from his sidekick Tonto, but the first time he said, “Yeehahh Kemosahbee” while I trotted alongside to his rocking horse with my footstool bear, it left a mark on me.  Maybe it was the bright look in his eye or how proud he was as he rocked his wooden horse a bit faster as he said it, but it made me think it must be to him a good term for a rocking horse riding buddy.

Well, being that I have only actually ridden a horse 3 or so times on one mild mannered ‘ol paint’-kinda horse in a slow line of tourists on vacation, I don’t think it’s my horse riding skill that got him saying Yeehahh to GrandDa.  It was just good to be playing around with him.  When we got off our ponies, it seemed awful nice of sister Junie to loan Brody her Mr. Potato Head hat so he could remind me that even if it’s only in the little things. I guess I am a businessman of a GranDa after all.  It’s a good thing to get to put on some new and old hats as GrandDa.

Anneliese Johnson:

When I’m not working, my favorite title is “Mommy” to my 2 kids, Sydney & Seth. I treasure time spent with my family. As an active working mother, I enjoy volunteering in my children's classrooms and attending their many extracurricular activities. My favorite family times are those spent next to the water during vacations to Lake Coeur d'Alene and the Oregon coast.
