Finding your destination I heard the

words . . . you could never do that.

Funny thing, it was me who said it. Actually it was the little voices in my head, echoes of voices that I had heard in my past.

Not smart enough. Too old. Female. Out of my com-fort zone.

And yet.At the age of 48 I found myself sell-

ing cars and trucks. I learned the language. Towing capacity. Torque. Axle ratios. FWD. AWD. Etc.

What if I had listened to the voices in my head? What if I talked myself out of trying something, so foreign to my com-fort. I would have never arrived at this des-tination? (and never have met my husband)

I often get asked how I found myself selling cars and trucks. Well on my way to being 50 I got lost. The road signs pointed to a detour. A HUGE detour.

Caution, enter at your own risk. Curve ahead. Men at work. Steep hill ahead. Slip-pery road. I read the signs and yet I moved forward. Was I scared? Let's just say . . . terrified.

From the Heart

Trying to save landmarks in our modern communityIn our rap-

idly growing county it is diffi-cult, but import-ant to preserve some of the his-torically rele-vant landmarks that physically reveal the path-way to our cur-rent times. The Hull-Brennan House is such a landmark. Located near Keystone and Smoky Row Road, it is far off the road and largely hid-den by trees.

On land originally granted to William Wilkinson in 1822, the house started as a pioneer log cabin, probably built before 1835. Around 1853 an impressive two-sto-ry brick house was built adjoining the cab-in. The practice of incorporating an earlier house with a later one was common in the mid-19th century, but surviving examples are rare.

The brick structure is a good example of combined Federal and Greek Reviv-al architecture which was often found in homes of the 1840s and 50s. It is owned by descendants of the Dinkelaker family which bought the home and surrounding farmland about 115 years ago. They oper-ated a dairy farm there for many years.

The last occupant was William H. Hull who died in 2014 at the age of 93. Din-kelaker heirs then listed the remaining 59

When was the first Indiana State Fair?The REPORTER

1888 — Mary F. Thomas died in Rich-mond. A medical doctor, she had helped nurse soldiers in the Civil War. She was also a leader for women's rights. In 1859, she was the first woman to address the In-diana Legislature when she presented a pe-tition for women's suffrage.

1911 — Over 200 Statehouse work-ers enjoyed a watermelon feast hosted by State Treasurer William H. Vollmer. The Indianapolis Star reported that 100 Knox County melons "bore the brunt of the at-tack."

1940 — An estimated 260,000 people crowded Wendell Willkie's hometown of Elwood as he accepted the Republican nomination for President. Willkie waged a whirlwind campaign but lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won a third term.

1958 — The first suburban shop-ping center opened in Indianapolis. The Glendale Shopping Center, at 62nd and Keystone, offered a variety of stores. Major tenants were L.S. Ayres, William H. Block, L. Strauss, G.C. Murphy, Stan-dard Foods, Hook's Drugs, Baker's Shoes, Lerner Shops, Harry Levinson and Rost Jewelers.

1968 — Janis Joplin performed on the main stage of the ballroom at Indiana Beach in Monticello. The lead singer for a rock band called "Big Brother and the Holding Company," she was still unknown

to most of the audience. Her fame began to grow the next year at the music festival in Woodstock, N.Y.

1992 — President George H. W. Bush was in Indianapolis to address the nation-al convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. In his speech at the Convention Cen-ter, the President praised "the forgotten he-roes of Vietnam."

To those who are trying to find their way in a foreign environment . . . listen up.

We hear the voices. We see the signs.And yet.What gives us the gumption to take a

risk? What gives us the determination to do everything we can so as not to fail?

I think it is several things. A greater fear of drowning in the reality of the sta-tus quo. Being able to quiet the voices of negativity and discouragement. Realizing failure is not fatal.

I also think it is seeing the possibili-ties of success. It is realizing that there is strength in having a community of people who cheer you on. It is finding people who will come alongside you to help you suc-ceed.

I had all of the above. All the fears. All the challenges. And yet. I had a commu-nity of people who believed in me. I had

guys who did not have a negative mindset of having a woman enter into a male dom-inated field. I give them a lot of credit for helping me. They taught me. They chal-lenged me. They dared me. Some even bet against me. I thank them all.

I do not feel that anyone can succeed without the help of others. And they should be appreciated and thanked.

I think that you can do anything that you set your mind and heart to do. Do it even if you are doing it afraid. Don't let your education, your past, your age or your gender hold you back. Life is a challenge,

no matter what. I encourage the new guys and gals who

come to work with me. I truly believe that if you help someone succeed then you will succeed even more. If you hang around the negative sayers then you will become one of them. If someone offers you the poison of discouragement . . . .don't drink it!

Offer help to those who can help you. You will learn from the best. I did these things.

It does not matter what field you find yourself in, choose a mentor. Listen and watch and offer to help them. It will ben-

efit you.Listen to the words of those who have

succeeded. Allow their words to drown out the voices in your head and in your past.

You are smart enough, you just have to be taught. Find people who are willing to teach you. You are put at the right place at the right time if you believe it to be so.

Never be afraid to fail. You might just succeed. And once you succeed, find those that you can help find their own success.

In the end, everyone can hear the words . . . You have arrived at your destination. Enjoy!

acres of farmland and the house for sale. Beazer Homes of Atlanta, Ga. plans to buy and developed the property with 164 new homes.

Indiana Landmarks, a preservation or-ganization which has participated in saving numerous significant historic structures, has joined the Carmel Clay Historical So-ciety in trying to save the Hull-Brennan House.

The Beazer application for zoning and development is pending in a Carmel Plan Commission review committee. There have been discussions among Carmel of-ficials, Landmarks, local historians and Beazer regarding ways to save the house, one of very few of its kind remaining in the rapidly developing community.

The zoning application will return to the Plan Commission with a committee recommendation, probably in the next month or two. A zoning change to allow what is called a Plan Unit Development on the site will then go to the Carmel City Council for a final decision.

Local historians say the house is archi-tecturally and historically worthy of saving if a buyer can be found who wishes to re-store and reside in the house.

The Landmarks foundation has been successful in assisting to locate buyers of historic properties including to former McShane Home south of Carmel which is regarded as an outstanding example of preservation efforts.
