A Ray of Sunshine

If you have never met Trayton Greenfield, you don't know what you're missing in life. For those of you who have never met this Alto farm boy, Trayton's smiling face graced the cover of our recently published special section "Success". While Trayton humbly pushes aside any praise, instead shifting it to others, he truly is a success for many reasons.

I first met this perpetually happy man when he first walked into my office with the PR materials for the Alto Fair six years ago. No matter the weather or the circumstances, Trayton always has a smile on his face and a kind word to share. Just today he stopped by the office to offer his thanks for The Reporter's print contribution to the Alto Fair. Although it was three months ago, he wanted to make sure that I knew how much he appreciated my efforts. And, of course, he apologized for interupting me while I was on deadline.

But you know what? I don't mind interuptions like Trayton's visit. Just the kindness he exudes is so uplifting and I am grateful to count him among my friends. Trayton is a success because he makes other people feel like one. And that, my friends, is a true talent of a great person. Stop in and see me again sometime soon, Trayton.
