Former Scout: Praise and advice for Gabe Coleman 2020-11-26 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy Robby Morrision. Robby writes, "Gabe, thanks for adding a positive moment to the daily check of my hometown news where the highlights are far too often a list of drug arrests and more recently COVID cases and deaths. It is inspirational to see that there is still an organization in the community instilling civic duty and a moral compass to guide the youth in a positive direction. Another important aspect of scouting is that it instills the importance of learning and continually enhancing one's skills. Both of which have served me well. Stay the course, ignore the peers that dishonor your quest, add a college degree to those credentials, embrace setbacks as an opportunity to move in a different direction, and life will probably turn out just fine. Although the photo has aged over the past 42 years, Dick Fitzpatrick and I have as well. The other guy needs no introduction." --Robby Morrison Ph.D., Ph.D., MBA, M.Sc., M.Sc., M.Sc.
