It was 6:50 a.m. and Jack Marsh, vice president for diversity programs at the Freedom Forum, was no where to be found. He was supposed to pick me up at 6:45 a.m. to take me to the airport. Normally, this would not be a big deal; it's only five minutes. But anyone who knows Jack Marsh knows that he operates like a well-oiled machine and he is never late. When he finally arrived at 6:55 a.m., I knew this was going to be an interesting few days. So far, it has been. I have met some fascinating people and became reacquainted with some old friends. I am looking forward to the next three days. I am looking forward to learning more about the wonderful people around me. I am looking forward to learning more about what I, very gratefully, call my career. But most of all, I'm looking forward to Jack Marsh -- and everyone who knows him -- reading this entry.
