>Where we’ve been
We have been quite fortunate in our work as we have met some terrific people from many parts of the world. Here are some of the places we have been.

AUGUST 2017: Yikes, so much for staying current. This calendar year saw three trips to the UK, one for pure fun. September in Florence is something to look forward to. Although I’ve not updated this page in some time, the time was spent, in part, on a little book for leaders written with Lisa Rees. Sending the manuscript and proposal around and hoping for some interest from an agent or publisher.
