This is Carlos as a young father, and entrepeneur. He was in sales and worked very hard and long hours in his profession. He sold Wear Ever aluminum cookware. His father suggested when he was younger to speak and enunciate his words. He encouraged him to take a Dale Carnegie course, "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
Carlos was able to communicate well with others, whether in business or friendship. Many people commented to me how personable he was and his ability to talk to them. He was comfortable in getting to know people with whom he met, new or past friends.
His father encouraged him to join Toastmasters. It is a club where people learn how to communicate in public speaking. He suggested I join, and at the time, son Hank was already a member of that club. I attended a few meetings and witnessed with my Dad some of Hank's competitions in Toastmaster. Had I joined there would have been three generations of Toastmasters in the family. I was busy and going to UVU and BYU so I didn't have the luxury of taking that on as well. I know Hank benefited from participation in Toastmasters.
* Sept 7, is the anniversary of Carlos' transition from mortality. I wanted to pay a short tribute to him today.
