Leadership Lessons From Boiling Water: How One Extra Degree Makes All the Difference. (2018, November 13). Retrieved February 13, 2019

Actually, he was a legend. We met by chance at an education workshop when I was in college. I made a point to give him my resume when I graduated, in case he ever had an opening. Later, Dave didn’t forget that I had gone the extra step of making a connection when I was in teacher college.
