The picture is of a nameplate on a bench strategically located on the bike/running path in Piqua, Ohio.
I often stop and stretch at this bench while on a long run.
I googled “George William Wenrick” and came up with nothing, but he obviously impacted someone enough to give them the notion to provide a place to sit and take in the beauties of nature in his memory.
It’s safe to surmise that Mr. Wenrick was not a social media “influencer” with thousands of followers, as many strive to be today.
He was a potato farmer who significantly impacted at least one person who parlayed that impact into a bench in Mr. Wenrick’s memory. Now that bench impacts hundreds, if not thousands of people a year on the scenic bike trail in Piqua, Ohio.
Back to the opening quote…
Don’t ever think your assignment isn’t big enough to impact the world significantly.
Positively impacting one person’s life can create a ripple effect way beyond your time breathing air from the earth.
After exiting this world, I’m hoping to run into Mr. Wenrick somewhere on the streets of gold so I can thank him for his impact on me.
