[OSList] When did you first hear about OST?

[Chris Kloth via OSList]

I first learned about OST through Ralph Copleman. We had met through  
our Future Search work and hit it off immediately. Sometime around  
1992-1994 he suggested my colleague, Terry Swango, and I come to this  
event that he and his colleagues were hosting focused on org  
transformation, something called Open Space and a lot of good people.  
We attended and the the next stage of our journey began that weekend.
