MAYOR HIRSCH (Part 6) Ethel Hirsch, Myrtle Beach World War 2 Memorial Address, and some lasting advice....
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In our final episode in this special series we will listen in as Mayor Hirsch talks about his wife of many years, Ethel Hirsch. Her many contributions to his successful life, and career, and the raising of 10 children. The real keys to happy life are right here to be learned in this special story.
We will also listen , in its entirety, to the speech that inspired this special series in the first place. When Mayor Bob Hirsch addressed the ceremony at the Grand opening of the Myrtle Beach World War 2 Memorial. It was an extraordinary address that captured all the high points, emotions, and the sense of adventure that came from the generation that fought this horrific War.
We then switch gears to hear some advice for the future leaders who are now taking their seats at the table of government and for the next generation of young people who are just starting out in life too.
It is an episode of sound advice from our local example of all the great lessons of leadership we should be learning from the example set by the Greatest Generation.
It has been an honor to produce these seven episodes.
