At one point, we broke out into sessions for just the men and just the women. Naturally, the men's meeting involved building a fire even though it was broad daylight and 73 degrees outside. Gil (far right) is a former Marine who served in Desert Storm. Derrick (third from right) graduated from YDB's first cycle thirteen years ago, worked as a professional carpenter for several years, and then came back to work for us as a construction trainer.
Indira, Gil, Jerry, and Rowland at our annual fundraiser, The Showdown in Motown. It freaks me out how much Jerry reminds me of David O. McKay.
Bev Manick. Can you see how we might all be a little afraid of her?
