Hello Folks, How goes it out there?
Monday was a good vocational Day, I know Gavin missed having Luke around, it was the first Voc Day He’s had by himself.
I had a morning at Shmidt Industries with Alan, an importer of leather tied (mostly) to a German Tannery, we talked of the global leather trade and filled in a few gaps in my knowledge and maybe I can help him in the future.
Lunch at Furnitureland Rotary Club, Gavin and I were guests not the main program. We did a short hello and introduction of ourselves, was very pleasant not to feel on show.
An afternoon at High Point University, with Dr Winters, talking about motivation, culture change and people skills. Some good articles on work place theory, need to read them.
The good bye get together last night was tough but necessary, pizza and beer and sadness. I’ll miss them both but it is the right call for Kevin in case he hurts is foot worse than it already is. He made the conference which was important to him and to all of us I feel.
Today was lighter weight an explore of the Piedmont Environmental Centre with Dick and Tonya and Skip. Great fun many pics of birds and flowers. An interesting discussion on the local geography, flora and fauna, also we saw a red headed wood pecker and lots of other cool stuff. Lovely lunch at a sandwich shop then on to a NASCAR team site. Fantastic tour, very interested and interesting guy, great cars, lovely workshop, great design info. Many thanks for setting that up.
Went to a Cub Scout promotion meeting this evening with my Host family Joseph has just become a Wolf Scout (different system from UK) a privilege to me to be there.
Bed time, ice cream factory tomorrow amongst other stuff, Good night folks.

to add to simons comments today was very hard for us all to think that the team was not all here.
