Well today we got invited to the Hewnoaks Center of Camp Susan Curtis for some leadership training organised by Walter Corey. Walt was involved in MICP a long time ago and is now involved with Seeds for Peace who work with young people from Israel, Palestine, Pakistan and India. Together with Dick Romeo, Walt developed a leadership course and facilitated it for some High School Seniors, it took off and they now do it for all kinds of programs including prisoners...as Dick said even murderers are nice guys!!!
We spent the day with Walt and Dick, it was a very early start for those in Kennebunk (6am) but the weather was good again and all had fun as the pix show,
