Very good list Dr. DeMille. I’ll have fun with the 1828 dictionary tonight! I just saw an announcement that your speaking at a TEAM Major in Columbus. I didn’t know you were involved with TEAM, but then again, Chris Brady does post articles on The Center for Social Leadership. But it’s very exciting! I’ll look forward to watching your speech.
