Re: Bill Beatty Honored
I don't know Mr. Beatty very well but I would like to share one small story that spoke volumes to me regarding the humble side of this man.

A couple of years back, I contacted him, asking if he would be interested in conducting a Championship conference presentation. He had done so in the past but his response was that he wondered if anyone would still be interested in a presentation from him. (Truth.) On the day of his presentation, I was part of a presentation that followed his and I was so tickled to see Mr. Beatty surrounded by students and mentors from his audience, wanting to get just a little closer look and to stay in his friendly and wise presence just a little bit longer. I knew the true measure of the man by the smile of delight on his face. (Truth.)

Thank you, Mr. Beatty. Congratulations!

Jane

P.S. Keith and Lori, thank you for inviting us to share in this special celebration.
