Personal Note: I just learned that a very dear friend, Ron Kinnamon, one of the original board members of the Josephson Institute and a founding father of CHARACTER COUNTS! passed away on July 30. Ron was not only a tremendous personal friend and friend of the Institute he was also one of the finest men I’ve had the fortune to know. Whatever I am, I know I am a better man because of my association with Ron. I am donating seed funds to establish a CC! Leadership program in his honor. The world is lessened by his loss.- MJ
