pleasure to meet JAMES WELLS

It's always felt an honor that the Rydal Park Current Event's discussion group has made me feel welcome, but it was never more a pleasure than today, when the community's interim director, JAMES WELLS, stopped by.

He was not anything that I expected.  I'm not talking about what I saw or heard, but what I felt - my sense is that the man understands in ways it's hard to fake the depth & privilege of being where he is doing what he is for who he is.  And that seriously took me aback.  Was just not expecting it.

If I could have designed an executive director for a community like Rydal Park, someone who seemed a natural partner to Pastor Tom Summers, it would be the person who spoke this afternoon.  Will take a night to let what he said & shared steep in my mind & heart, then share more of my off-the-bat impressions tomorrow.  

Just the fact that the powers-that-be thinks this man would make a good head honcho at the community I love so well bodes well for the organization as a whole.  Looking forward to getting to know James Wells!  

(The fact he calls my beloved Hunterdon County home certainly doesn't hurt!!)
