15 years (15 YEARS!!) ago The Buddy Program at The Family Center perfectly matched me with an 11 year old who would become one of my best friends. Eddie and I have grown tremendously and become quite the pair over the ensuing years. We’ve shared so much together over thousands of hours in such a meaningful way that I couldn’t imagine my life without him in it. I am a huge proponent of mentorship and encourage anyone to give it a look on any level. This match is making an impact a decade and a half later. Shoutout to Thomas Sisk MBA, SFHEA, CMgr MCMI Aileen Parker, Emily Twomey and Ivy Gamble-Cobb for taking similar paths with me and for being awesome people.
John Rothmeier YOU are THE awesome person -to Eddie and so many of us! Congrats on 15 years together!
I remember when you first connected with Eddie back in our NML days. Kudos to you for investing yourself in impacting Eddie's life so positively!
Was just wondering about you two the other day.
