I never told you but I got a job with Sewanee!  I'm an assistant track and cross country coach.  I also got asked to teach a running class.  Anyway, I believe that the mentoring class helped me a lot with networking and really helped me think about what I truly wanted to do.  I can't thank you enough. Hope things are going well Benton Reed
