In this blog, I endeavor to share thoughts about issues that I find timely and compelling - leadership, faith, business issues, recruiting trends, Renaissance Men and Women in the world, Service Academies and their graduates, helping military leaders transition to leadership roles in the business world, international travel, literature, theater, films, the arts and the once and future World Champion Boston Red Sox!

A Thoughtful Response to the Death of Senator Kennedy
Amidst all of the memorializing and remembering of the life of Senator Edward Moore Kennedy, I was gripped by the balanced approach taken in this article that appeared in "The Leaders Notebook":
Leaders Notebook Article
Like the moving eulogy given by Teddy, Jr. at the funeral mass on Saturday, this article does not skate past the sins of Kennedy's past, but celebrates the reclamation and redemption that came from his willingness to continue in public service in the face of the humiliation and shame that followed his very public failings.
For those of us who are fellow sinners, it is a story of hope and redemption that is very heartening and encouraging.
