““The Roslyn effect “ If you could put a giggle in a laughter in a bottle, this lady has it. I always say a smile is the most important sound in any language getting to Dale Carnegie principles mixed up lol. I’ve always noticed these wonderful personalities at the store here in West Carroltin, Ohio. Low and behold, I checking out. I asked Roslyn where she was from. She said Trotwood, Ohio. I immediately said I always tell people that had a gun pulled on us in a 1992 basketball tournament there at Trotwood high school and then I had a little story about meeting other people and you know it’s not always shown what’s going on in our inner cities of America. This lady is a genuine Sole that is from there and she said it’s not like it used to be. Do whatever you can do and your community to make it better quit listening in the wrong music for one thing it does not make you a warrior or a gangster for example. I really appreciate this lady and her genuine personality and being there to serve me God bless you, Rosalyn and all the staff here they’re always such a special people because I frequent here now moving back. Happy to be back here. Love you guys. God bless you today and every day and may the good Lord, take a liking to you Oh yeah, Paul Harvey is smiling big-time!!”
