ReChoice

This is a Remastered favorite episode from Season 1 - Ron has learned important lessons in his many roles as a Husband, Father, entrepreneur, educator, and leader - But it was a run-in with a proud Dad on the streets of College Station TX that taught him the phrase: "Today is the Day". That phrase has recentered him both in the small stuff and big stuff.

Ruth abandoned her love of art to pursue a life in the US Army, LA police officer, and collegiate softball coach, but has since returned to that first love. Her most recent work is on display in Saugatuck, soon to travel to Chicago.

She offered to give back to her HS Alma Mater through an art workshop and was initially approved -- but a conservative new board then refused because of Ruth's background. Ruth quickly decided to speak up at the Board meeting and made a simple request: "Permanently withdraw my name from the Allendale High School Hall of Fame."
