LAST WEEK:Classification Talks: Phil Clarke and Eric Kinsey
I must admit these classification talks just get better and better. Elya mentored and introduced Eric, JD and MBA. Eric has taken his entrepreneurism across the country and abroad. We are so pleased he and Elya landed here.
John Logan introduced Phil, his mentee, and we were sorry Phil's wife, Beth, wasn't able to join. Despite Phil's desire to get out of his talk he did a great job introducing himself through humor and song. And, don't forget his book, Assisted Living, available on Amazon.
We had no guests, but it was great to see Mary Kay and Arthur back and healthy. We were happy to see you too, Maria.
