It was well received and had high kudos from those involved. I wonder where it is now when likely those left inside could use it? Mentorship is a great two way street when the pairs are well matched which isn't that too hard to do. I need to look around and see if there is an "open" mentor program.

I saw him a few years ago at a Trust Consultants reunion of sorts, it was interesting to see everyone. Not all the names came back to me unfortunately. Yep, Geno from Trust Consultants.
