I also had a reminder of how small Helena is. I saw a guy come in and he seemed vaguely familiar. Finally after an hour or so he finally came up to me and said hi, and re-introduced himself - I had met him at one of our AmeriCorps trainings, and he's one of the local bigwigs with the Montana Conservation Corps. I did one of my VISTAs a favor and plugged him as he's applying for one of the senior crew leader positions. The whole conversation reminded me a bit of a conversation I had with my brother when he was out here - I was asking him what it was like working at Google, being surrounded by brilliant people, and realized after I had talked up my friend, that I'm surrounded by great people too. There are plenty of incredible VISTAs here, who I totally respect and admire - some of them have wonderful people skills, amazing communication skills, passion, desire, etc etc. Anyway, just a quick little braindrop . . .
