Spending two days in St.Louis with two role models was an exceptional gift for me.My brother Russ is seven years older than me and has been one of my pathfinders. Russ was voted most likely to succeed by his high school classmates and they were clairvoyant.He,without a lot of fanfare, has been a guiding post for me since childhood.and everyone privileged to know him has been blessed. This recognition is also true of my son John who has reversed roles on me. No longer am I the teacher but now the student as he like Russ has become a pathfinder. Blessed with a bevy of talents John has a level of kindness that is truly unique. The two days were filled with laughter ,constant chatter but most of all with an awareness of how special these two men are in my life.
