We welcome individuals who are fit enough to keep up with the brisk walking/moderate hiking pace, who enjoy the art of conversation and who can actively contribute to the p …

It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our th …
