Jason ~Our friend, Guy Adams, sent me an email and suggested I would enjoy getting info from you. I was President of Lindsey Wilson College for several years and am now retired. I still live and breathe learning more about how to win friends and influence people to give. Giving is one of the most joyful things a person can do. Guy Adams did a great favor to me when he introduced you to me.
Hi John: Many thanks for your kind words. Guy Adams is a fantastic leader for CAP and I have valued his friendship for many years. He has shared your wise counsel with me many times and I’m pleased you are finding value in reading my blog – that is a high honor. With all best wishes!
