Author, educator and mentor, Nonnie Cameron Owens has dedicated her life to young people, guiding them as they take their next steps in life with confidence. Since 1987 she has been a valuable source of personal and professional tools that encourage the sensitive awareness grounded in respect-of yourself and others. It is called civility. It was an honor to work with "Mom Nonnie" at Purdue, and also to have her facilitate programs for my bank staff. This little book captures it all. It's a treasure-David Huhnke, Vice President of Marketing, Lafayette Savings Bank, Lafayette, Indiana More than likely, in high school or college you were more concerned about sports or academics than attending cotillion or manners/etiquette classes.
