FROM THE PUBLISHER DENTON COUNTY PRESIDENT & CEO Sam Houston VICE PRESIDENT & CFO Spring Houston THE THREE E’S T om Hanks still exudes a youthful affability that we should all be so lucky to retain in midlife. Indeed, it’s a rare quality to have, espe- cially for someone with such an illustrious Hollywood resume. Yet, Hanks still charms audiences with his performances nearly four decades after he first arrived in Tinsel Town. Adept at playing seemingly common men in uncommon circumstances, it’s no surprise that Hanks will slip into the famous red cardigan of one of America’s most beloved neighbors––Fred Rogers. The creator, com- poser, producer, head writer, and host of the preschool television series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Rogers’ Emmy-nominated PBS series in- fluenced generations of children. Aired from 1968 to 2001, it was one of the longest-running children’s shows of all time. It’s an ideal role for Hanks. Like Rogers, he has a passion for storytelling and educating. “I try to do what I call the three E’s––educate, entertain, and enlighten,” says Hanks, who in recent years has had to educate himself on the ins and outs of type 2 diabetes. After being diagnosed with the disease, he’s gone out of his way to bring attention to this epidemic. Read about his new role as America’s favorite neighbor and also how’s he managing diabetes inside. As 2019 gets going, resolutions are top of mind. If weight loss is one of them, we have you covered.
