      Pros

      It's like family. The folks I work with and interact with are upbeat and positive. Much respect for the current President Jim O'Rourke as well as his predecessor, Don Keller. The Editor and Chief Paul Kobasa gives World Book Class!

      Cons

      Negativity needs to go so we can continue to grow faster.
