  • ToastMasters This group got me into being a public speaker.
  • The Way International In 1975 I was involved in this 'cult'. (I don't endorse them)
  • A mens discussion group I no longer attend, but found it usefull to share feelings with other men.
  • National Geographic Society .  that was my arm chair travel.  It's a rare mag that folks save.
