It Is That Time Of Year Again Pat Farrell / Contributing Writer

PRSRT STD U.S. Postage PAID San Antonio, Texas Permit #1416

November can be one busy month and it looks like we may actually be able to enjoy doing this year what was so dangerous to attempt last year. Those of us, unaffected by the trauma of the virus or having fortunately recovered, will again enjoy family reunions for the traditional Thanksgiving meal and of course be able to watch all the scheduled games on TV that day and over the weekend. Could be we will get to just sit around without masks and appreciate the beauty of our family and friends without their facial coverings. November, originally so named because it was the ninth month on the old Roman calendar retained its name even though it became the eleventh month when two months were added to the Julian calendar, which was adopted in 45 B.C. The penultimate month of November has history to it, some good, some not so good. Those of us of a certain age can remember where we were and what we were doing when in 1963 the news came that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated while he and his wife were in a motorcade in Dallas after a brief morning visit to San Antonio. We also may remember that on the 19th of November in 1978, more than 900 followers of Reverend Jim Jones’ cult known as the “People’s Temple” either willingly or by force drank a cyanide-laced drink, thus participating in the largest mass suicide event in recorded history.

In the early colonial years in North America the hunters used to set out their beaver traps ahead of the freeze that usually came on in late November so the full moon that occurs in November became known as the Beaver Moon. And, today when we start into our winter months we might expect to see the arrival of the “Snowbirds” which as we know is not a reference to the so nicknamed dark-eyed Junco bird but to a group of mostly retirees that routinely migrate from the far northern regions to warmer parts of the world. At the same time of the year that we experience winter, those folks in the Southern Hemisphere are getting their bar-b-que grills out and preparing their pools for summer use. The last day of October and first two days of November have historically been dedicated to a celebratory period that honors the dead. They are a series of days that encompass what is known, depending on one’s culture, as Samhain, All Hallows Eve, Halloween, All Saints Day, Dia de los Muertos and All Souls Day. More than 2,000 years ago when the Celts occupied the areas that are now recognized as Ireland, Great Britain and northern France, their New Year was celebrated on November 1st before the period of cold was to begin. The Celts believed that the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred and the ghosts of the dead returned to earth on the night before the new year. These otherworldly spirits were thought responsible for causing trouble and damaging crops so on October 31st, during the celebration of Samhain (pronounced sow-in) the Celtic priests would build huge bonfires and the Celts would wear costumes which typically consisted of animal heads and skins, and they attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. Christianity had spread into the Celtic lands by the 9th Century and, over time, it blended with and eventually supplanted older Celtic rites with All Saints Day on November 1st followed the next day by All Souls Day. The All Saints’ Day celebration was also known as All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before that, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, became known as All-Hallows Eve and,

eventually, Halloween. Another important cultural celebration over these first two days of November originated in Mexico and Central America and is known as the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos. Although frequently confused with Halloween the tradition is unrelated to it but is rather a way to welcome the deceased back for a brief visit using flowers, altars, food, and music, all of which are integral parts of the holiday. Families create altars decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the honoree’s favorite foods and drinks. It is believed that as the departed souls hear their prayers and smell their foods it will encourage them to visit from the land of the dead and join in the celebrations! But let us not forget November 11th, the day set aside nationally to honor our returning and/or retiring military veterans who answered the nation’s call to honorably serve in whichever part of the world they were assigned. Historically, the armistice for World War I between Germany and the Allies was declared in 1918 on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, so the day was originally known as Armistice Day but was officially renamed Veterans Day in 1954 and was declared a national holiday in 1971. The Congress of the Confederation, the forerunner of today’s U. S. Congress, established the country’s first three military services: the U. S. Army in 1784; the U. S. Navy in 1794; and the U. S. Marine Corps in 1798 and long after that, what was once the Army Air Corps became the U. S. Air Force in 1947. Originally founded as the U. S. Revenue-Marine in 1790 the U. S. Coast Guard was not sonamed until 1939 and is the only military service that comes under the Department of Homeland Security rather than the Department of Defense. The recently acknowledged U. S. Space Force was actually operational in 1954 as the Western Development Division and became independent of the U. S. Air Force in 2019. Veterans have served in the wars in which the United States chose to participate and at most times were welcomed home with open arms, as was the case in the World Wars I and II, Korea, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Most of

those amongst our younger generations may be unaware though that those who served in Vietnam did not receive the same warm welcome home. I am quite sure that my return from Vietnam mirrored that of other veterans at the time as, for example, it was almost impossible to flag down a taxi at the airport as the cab drivers were too busy spitting at anyone who wore a military uniform! We were treated like criminals, so I find it fortunate that people today appreciate that this is “The Home of the Free Because of the Brave!” Veterans are a major component of the population of San Antonio, Military City U.S.A. and since one important benefit available to a veteran is the VA Loan, they should also be important to the REALTORS® and Lenders in our industry. There is little doubt that the VA Loan is, in most cases, the best option for the veteran to buy a home, yet often REALTORS® will advise their sellers to not accept a VA Loan offer and Lenders will fail to advise the veteran about the VA Loan. In most instances the practitioners are operating under old information about VA loans in general and really need to learn more about the current process which is often an easier and quicker process than FHA loans. For an in-depth look at the VA Loan I would highly recommend taking the Military and Veteran Housing Certification (MVHC) course offered by the San Antonio Chapter of the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP). It also includes 7 hours CE for REALTORS®. November begins by honoring saints and remembering our departed loved ones and comes to an ending with being thankful for what we have, and often taking advantage of the shopping deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday after Thanksgiving Day. If you are reading this you have survived the pandemic when, unfortunately, so many of our friends and collogues did not. During November we have the opportunity to take stock of our lives, examine what we have accomplished this year and see if we have any incomplete tasks. If that is the case, take heart as we still have December to catch up with what has, to date, been left undone for the year. And as we sit down to our Thanksgiving Day meal remember to thank the Lord and those veterans who made it possible for us to enjoy the day in peace!

THE WAY I SEE IT Cathey Meyer / Contributing Writer

Phone Club? Once every six or seven years, I am forced to buy a new phone. This is not my choice, but I have no option. Back in the landline days, no one ever sent me a text announcing my ‘current carrier is no longer providing service and I have 30 days to schedule an appointment for new service.’ Or something along those phone lines. If you are on your toes here, you would immediately yell,“Got ‘ya! Landlines do no texting!” Not the point. Landlines also never dropped calls, got misplaced in the place you never look, or charged you ridiculous fees that are allegedly government controlled. I had a great mobile plan: $30 of unlimited service a month plus $50 a month in questionable taxes and hidden fees. The memory of when I joined the phone service with a fast dash name is murky as it was so long ago. I do recall I left a company with capital letters and an ampersand because they got high and mighty with their fees and lack of service. I am pretty sure it was way

back in the 1900’s that my early sprint to a new phone service took me to affordable phone care. I still had my reliable landline with the ampersand company, but I was content with my availability to those who needed to locate me. As the 21st century took off and phones became less of a calling service and more of a video service, I just plugged along with my easily operated flip phone and home answering machine that provided hilarious audio screening. As much as aging cannot be halted is as fast as technology cannot stop multiplying. My fast dash company did a grand job of carefully nurturing my loyalty and I only had to upgrade my mobile phone a couple of times. The last upgrade was the result of a toilet drop and I ended up with a much better phone because I had phone insurance of which I was unaware I had been charged for over who knows how many years. Suddenly I needed faster service, clearer photographs, more storage and

immediate internet service. Apps were appearing on my mobile phone literally out of nowhere and the dependency on my handheld device was near addiction. I had arrived in the 21st Century. The landline was disconnected years back when one day the ampersand company called the mobile to voicemail me the landline was dead. I must admit I still miss the security of a small plastic rectangle with the attached answering machine. I enjoyed my relationship with the voice that announced, “You have six new messages,” even if four of them were from my mother. Screening was great because you could listen directly to the message you chose to ignore. Paying your bill was easy as opening the mailed bill, writing a check, peel and stick a stamp and send off with the post-person. The transition to my current state-of-the-art S50plus minicomputer that serves as a telecommunicator has been less simple than the peel and stick stamp days. The first rule of new phone club is there are no platinum members. The second rule of new phone club is they much prefer you do everything yourself. You are constantly reminded you can order online, transfer your own data and return your old phone to the new company—ironically via the postal service. For what I am paying for this new ‘service’, my third rule of phone club is they will do everything for me. Playing dumb does have its own platinum points. Of course, playing dumb

was not a technology stretch for me. A very patient Gen-Z-er with a tight t-shirt, jeans cropped at the ankles, and too many buds in his ears got me started on my phone club journey. He attempted to explain why my current phone would be obsolete as of January 2022, how my new bill would work virtually through my new phone, and why I needed to join the Cloud. We settled on a phone that would be available in four to six weeks, he did some chip magic in my current phone and sent me on my merry way. I was not quite sure what just happened. In less than four days, a tiny box arrived with my new phone valued at over $1000, but will cost me a mere $2.99 a month with no interest. I lost interest long ago. Visit two at the mobile phone shoppe was much the same: Gen-Z-er, tight tee, cropped jeans, ear buds plus and I was not sure of their pronoun preference. With the trust of a priest in a confessional, I handed her/him my old phone, my new phone, all my passwords and a credit card. They could not call me when things were ready as they had all my communication tools. I was told to return in three hours and not to worry. I am not sure what went down, but rule four of phone club is to grab and go. In three hours, I had my new phone, my credit card and a phone that looked very much like the one the said they took. Everything was the same, but was it? My next credit card bill may tell the true tale of phone club.

NARPM Brenda Davila / SAMAC, NARPM Vice President

A Little NARPM History NARPM had humble beginnings. It was around the late 1980’s that NARPM was born out of a need for more education, networking opportunities, recognition and most importantly validation. Validation for agents that worked hard in an industry that at times was isolated from other agents and had little to no guidance. After property management software was introduced to the office setting and became the norm, an individual by the name of Ralph Tutor of Real Estate Software, Inc. began to hold productivity seminars thorough out the country to teach property managers how to utilize his company’s software. At these seminars property managers from all over the US would gather to learn the software and in discussions discovered that many had common ground issues within their businesses. These gatherings

opened the pathway to what would soon become the non-profit trade association that we know and love today, NARPM. One day in 1987, Dallas, Texas an organizational meeting was held for the newly created association and with the votes of fellow property managers, Ralph Tutor was elected NARPM’s first president and the rest is both history and present. NARPM has had its struggles throughout the early years but with so many dedicated individuals with a passion to teach and learn, what started with 13 members, has currently grown to 5,500 strong across the US. NARPM is a full-fledged non-profit trade association with a national office, local chapters, national conventions, newsletter, designations, a code of ethics and standards of professionalism.

With a tenure of 34 years experiences and National Presidents, we can say we have come a long way and our past and current leaders have and continue to pave a way for your specialization to be relevant in today’s market and to have the proper tools to be the best we can be to our community and industry. In 2021 our local SAMAC chapter has acknowledged 4 members for receiving designations and certifications: Courtney Rosen, RPM – March Jason Bridgeman, RMPJune Melanie Thomas, MPMSeptember and Brenda Davila, RMP recently graduated from TRLP in October. Do not miss your opportunity

to serve, gain industry knowledge, and make new friendships. If you are interested in joining or would like to discuss; do not hesitate to reach out to us.
