There are even heros in Ogden, unbelievable, but true.

Here's a story about a man from New York who spoke in the Time Out for Women 2011 kick-off event in Ogden and his experience with severe eye pain.



Hero lives undetected in Ogden

I grew up thinking heroes moved mountains, saved lives or won Super Bowls with last-minute drives. A few days ago, I learned they also diagnose eye problems.

I wondered then and I wonder now as these words hit the page, what defines a hero in today's world? Must they be brave? Should they be strong? Do they have change hearts or minds? Save a life?



Maybe a hero is simply the person who answers the call when others ignore it. Maybe a hero is someone who lives every day to serve in big moments and small moments. Sometimes they get thanked; sometimes they don't.



I wonder how many I've failed to thank. How many heroes in my life have gone undetected, unappreciated, unrewarded?



How about you? When was the last time you examined your own life and identified the heroes around you?



I'm embarrassed to think how many have zipped in and out of my life without knowing how thankful I was for their heroics. But not this time.



To Dr. Dygert and his team at Ogden Vision Center, I say thank you for answering the call when others didn't. Cape or no cape, you are modern-day heroes.

This lady needs her eyes checked if she thinks she saw a hero in Ogden of all places!

Oh boy! Some Ogdenite might be mad you would say something like that! Now you have offended me and countless others who grew up in O-town.



Since Andrew Rich and I were raised there... You'll have to face Andrew Rich's wrath! Just pray you don't get decapitated by him ;)



Rich is my hero. Just like how the late Glenn Redd is some old farts hero back in the 80's

Those buttercreamers just keep on ticking don't they? Good ol' Ogden.
