Dick Wheeler...A Hero..Not a "Zero"
More "sharing" by Mr. Wheeler. It's "what he does". Wise, gracious, humble, generous, positive, innovative, admirable....you get the picture. Attendees will be fortunate, and glad to get the time to spend with him..and (especially) to discuss his "incredible adventure"..which would include not only his monumental kayak "ride"..but the "breadth" of his experience. Hey Dick..if you're reading..after you wrap up talking about the "trip"..maybe you could share with the "class", the tale of Icarus (always a nice story). I'm sure they'll prove much better "students" than someone else you once tried to "school".
