No, not one-on-one. He and his wife had the whole staff to his place last night for bar-b-que. I am still in awe of the staff he assembles for the season. While it goes without saying that he has great taste in boat captains and office staff ;-), the kayak guides who take people on multi-day trips are amazing young people. And, the naturalist/first mate staff - all degreed biologists who are great boat hands.
Since retiring, Joan and I have had some interesting summer experiences, and have been impressed with the quality people who want to work for just a few months. Some go to ski areas and do winter work, then move on to summer things... a nomadic life that provides interesting experiences, as long as you don't have other family commitments. One young lady who works with Joan in the office is a teacher - this fits her summer schedule. It's a great mix.
It was fun to visit with everyone outside the work environment. With the size of the staff, I also met a couple people I haven't seen before. "Hi - do you work here, too?" ;-)
