[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4292614, member: 13337"] Yep, I have. Just yesterday I spent several happy hours,,, Shooting with a former "Boss" at their farm/range. At 46 years old I went back to university,,, Todd was the manager of the student computer lab,,, And even though I barely knew how to turn a computer on,,, He hired me as a student worker because of my past retail/customer service background. That started a working relationship that lasted for over a decade,,, 2 1/2 years as a student worker and 3 years as a graduate assistant,,, Then 6 more years as a full-time staff person running the on-line learning platform. I was Robin to his Batman,,, Or Tonto to his Lone Ranger,,, Depending on your generational memories. He eventually left the university to be a Catholic High School Principal,,, We collaborated on many project, locked horns on many of them,,, But always managed to get the job done effectively. I had decent bosses after that,,, But never had quite the working relationship we enjoyed. He's had great success in his career after the job move,,, Just a few months ago he finished his Doctorate in Education. I retired from OSU three years ago,,, I attribute a lot of my achievement to him,,, He gave an angry 46 year old man a chance to succeed. I will never forget that. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
