​Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.’’
-Teddy Roosevelt

Sean,
In the above quote, I think you have the 2nd and 3rd kinds of greatness. Fate placed you at time where your teaching and solar skills are needed to help mankind and the planet (literarily). I am honored to have met you, and to have learned from your super set of solar skills. The Solar Bootcamp was phenomenal. Your solar books helped a lot (good job, well written). The training has the potential to be transformational for the country at time when this change is critical.
Thank you.
