Esteem must be earned; here are some who did so
On a day when an infamous former city official will dominate the headlines, let’s not forget the good things done by good people.

But for now, let us speak of those who have earned not the scorn of the community, but its esteem.
Being esteemed by others means you have won their respect and admiration.
