Inspiration

A slightly off-topic post, off my Facebook. I'm thinking of a mother who lost a son on the hijacked plane that struck WTC Tower2 on 9/11. Then deciding with her husband to build a girls school in Logar Afghanistan - land where terrorists were trained - as a way to make PEACE; thus creating a tribute in her son's memory, transforming grief into inspiration and joy, and bridging cultures in faraway lands. That is the story of Sally Goodrich as told in the film-in-progress, "Axis of Good".

Director friend Rick Derby and I have gotten the documentary of Sally Goodrich's journey into the Berkshire International Film Festival www.biffma.com. Go see it in Gt. Barrington MA at the Triplex2, tomorrow, Sunday 5/17 at 4pm. Inspiring. Heartwarming. Incredible. Rick, Sally and Don Goodrich will be there to share, after the film concludes.

Cutter Summit 2009

Hanging with my Cutter Summit gang at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Boston. Preparing for a Harvard Business School case study led by Rob Austin. Great fun! Weather stinks; it's not sunny like this picture shows. Check out the Tweets here.
