Celebrating Uncle Archie – 'Don't leave tracks'

 
Stay WholeToday we remember (Uncle) Archie Ganaway Malcom, Pop’s oldest brother who passed away this week at the age of 91. Please take a few minutes to read this beautiful tribute
 
I took some time to write to Scott today:

July 31, 2020

Dear Scott,

I’ve been thinking of you and your family all week. I wanted to sit down and share a few thoughts. I know losing a parent is never easy, but I also know the ‘A-Train’ is in a better place.

I just read the obituary and smiled knowing you had a hand in that writing. So well done. I love the story about the Army getting the nod over the Navy. His military career was indeed remarkable, not unlike that of his son – Scott-e-o!

I of course thought of his sense of humor and that great laugh! Also thought of his many one-liners you have shared with me through the years including my favorite, ‘Don’t leave tracks!’

My thoughts and prayers are with you buddy. Do your best to celebrate a life well-lived and a father, grandfather, and great grandfather who set such a special course for his family.

God bless,

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

RELEVANCE: From Beginning to End

How do you find and enjoy a place of purpose when you start your career, throughout your career, and when you stop ‘working’ and use your wisdom, resources, and skills to give back to the world? That’s right, from beginning to end. You don’t have to settle for doing things you do not enjoy.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
