Surrounded by fifty people all after the same thing, pursuing the same new skills, or trying to enhance old ones.

Just finished the NPPA workshop in Syracuse NY., What a rush it was to have teachers and assistants from all over the US. to help everyone with their search for golden story telling skills. The participants where a wide array of people, with different levels of knowledge, most were from some sort of news, or publication, but all brought their on personality and talent that created a very wide knowledge base and character flavor.

Can’t say enough about all the teachers and coaches that volunteered their time, but a couple in paticular wich happen to be mine, Mike and Bruce. These guys never stopped giving the whole five days, after working all week on a single project with each of us, and at the end of a eighteen hour day at three am Saturday morning, their Question was ” Are you happy with it, or do you want to look at it again?” 

Would have to say these guys are two of the best in their feild, can certainly understand why!
