Darrell – Thanks for being a good buddy to so many children and youth as well as your fellow child and youth workers. I remember that in the early 1990s you dedicated many volunteer hours in helping to develop the Cowichan Tribes Children’s Program. Ten years later you were one of a small group of visionaries who collaboratively co-created Inclusive Leadership Adventures. I will always remember your special gift for teaching by telling stories. For me, you were a role model for on-going healing at a personal, family and community level.
