In August of 1993 as I began graduate school I took a job as a live in “Manny” for Chris & Jon Butcher, who you met in Volume 27, (Click To Hear Volume 27 “Listen To Who?”) on their farm in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.  Cooking, cleaning, chaffering and looking after Chris’ kids were just some of the responsibilities that filled nearly 5 years of service.

This week meet Chris’ three kids Jen, Jon & Meredith whom during my “Mannying” gave me the gift of experiencing what it was like to be a big brother and who gave me my first lessons in leading, managing and getting things done.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

As Courtney and I were beginning to make our way in the “real world” it was Chris & Jon who helped us with our first crucial steps.  Living on their farm with them they were the closest of friends and came to know and understand Courtney and I as well as friends can know one another.  In a world of endless noise filled with “well meaning but often uniformed voices” Chris & Jon gave us the gift of identifying and hearing the people who know us best and who can really have our best interests at heart.

For those first 7 years following college Chris & Jon were one of a kind stewards to Courtney and my dreams and armed us with solid, well informed guidance, in the direction we chose to go.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…
