Education and Skills

In a sense, none of us ever completes our "education." If we are to truly live, we must continue to learn through each experience that comes our way. I have certainly learned much through the "school of hard knocks" as well as through wonderful associations with friends and colleagues. But here are the specific institutions that granted me documents confirming I have learned some specific body of knowledge while in their care, as well as a listing of some of the skills I've picked up along the way.
