  • Chins Up, Eyes Front, and Let's Do What We Can - Mark Zacharda

    Chins Up, Eyes Front, and Let's Do What We Can - Mark Zacharda
    Aug 1 2022

    Mark Zacharda is running for state representative in Michigan's new 71st house district. It is a mostly rural district where it has been tough for people over the past years, with jobs leaving and small towns being hallowed out. Mark is a full time farmer and former HS biology teacher who is eager to be a public servant for his family, friends and neighbors and to work for them in Lansing to meet their needs. Mark took a break from campaigning to share some stories he unearthed about his grandfather Robert Zacharda while sorting through boxes left behind after his grandmother's more recent passing. We get into some family history, world history, politics, and the importance of the tangible and intangible legacy you leave behind.

  • He Was Just Such A Great Man - Jack Nutter

    He Was Just Such A Great Man - Jack Nutter
    Jun 21 2022
    If you've listened to the introductory episode of We Lost A Good One, you know that this whole thing was in part, inspired by an interaction I had with Jack Nutter. He was the man who greeted me with, "we lost a good one" at my grandfather's funeral a few years back. That moment stuck with me and inspired me to try and have more of these conversations with that same energy. I'm tempted to fill this episode description with all the reasons people in my hometown of Ovid-Elsie look up to and appreciate Mr. Nutter, but that's not the point of the podcast so I'll do my best to focus on who he wanted to focus on, his childhood pastor and teacher, Pastor Bob Fry. A golden gloves boxer as well, Jack shared stories of a man he looked up to in his youth many years ago in Manton, MI. Someone who exemplified a combination of physical strength, quiet wisdom and complete calm. Someone who could get you to hold yourself to a higher standard without even saying a word. We veered off topic quite a bit, just like I knew we would and honestly wanted to. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/welostagoodone/message

  • Your Best Is Good Enough - Scott Sheedlo

    Your Best Is Good Enough - Scott Sheedlo
    Jun 7 2022
    Mr. Scott Sheedlo is an amazing English teacher, college professor, cross-country coach, my high school biology teacher and also an all around great guy. About two decades after teaching me how to dissect a frog, he joined me to dissect the life and loss of his wonderful mother Colleen. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and teacher who never stopped trying to better herself while encouraging others to do the same, whether they wanted to or not! Her family, former students, tennis partners and everyone at Greg and Lou's would agree, her best will be missed and was surely good enough!  Music and editing by the fine folks at The C2R Network. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/welostagoodone/message
