The old geezer first met Susan Good some 4 years ago. At the time, the old geezer was trying to teach civic pride and moral responsibility to neighbours in a community, most folks in Fresno would rather not think about. Along the way, Susan Good, taught this old geezer a bit about civic pride and moral responsibility.
At the time, Susan worked for a member of the California Legislature, very busy woman she was. That did not stop her from ringing up and asking if there was anything she could do to help in the fight against drugs and crime.
No dilettante is Susan Good. She is passionate in her desire to make Fresno a better place to live and work, regardless of district lived in. Susan took part in the block party held on Calaveras Street. Susan also took time out of her very busy schedule, she was running for office, to come down and take part in March In Alley, to draw attention to the massive drug problem in the neighbourhood.
Even after losing her bid for public office, Susan Good did not turn back on. Coming down and visiting to chat more about what could be done to make life better for the poor of Fresno. I will long remember Susan sitting on the curb, sipping a soft drink got from local cash and carry, taking in the American Flags hanging on Calaveras, greeting folks with kindness and just being a real person.
Susan is running for the same public office again. She wants to be the person on council for District 4. In a larger sense, Susan Good, wants to represent not just the folks in District 4, but ALL of the people of Fresno. That is pretty special.
Having a choice of snaps to put up on blog, I went with the one from her advert for election campaign. The sign says it all, It is all good, with Susan Good. Rather think the folks of District 4 could hardly do better.
Susan Good has a heart the size of Texas. She really cares about Fresno. She is passionate in her desire to make a difference. This old geezer adores Susan Good and will forever remember her as one of the most memorable characters met in life.
Very pleased to see that you never forget people who have been good. I remember Ms. Good taking an interest in your fight for Calaveras. I am going to send this post on to people I know here in Fresno, we could use a person like her on council.
