I have been doing OST and <br>OST inspired work continuously for about 20 years and used to be an <br>OSONOS regular. A few of the active participants will remember me.<br><br>Life got very complicated a number of years ago and, while I still do <br>the work, I rarely feel comfortable adding my 2 cents. Occasionally <br>offer my 2 bits... I guess that's what happens when interest accrues <br>on my 2 cents over time.<br><br>I lurk to feel some sense of connection to the OST community and to be <br>inspired by your work.<br><br><br>-- <br>Shalom,<br><br>Chris Kloth<br>ChangeWorks of the Heartland<br>254 South Merkle Road<br>Bexley, OH 43209-1801<br>ph 614-239-1336<br>fax 614-237-2347<br>www.got2change.com<br><br>Think globally.
