Memories of a fine meeting

When I was about 23 years old, I worked at a group home for boys in York, Nebraska. I worked there for a very short time, but while I was there I got to experience the meeting magic of Andrea, our supervisor. She was quiet, didn't say too much. But she had a briliant presence about her. She knew how to run a staff meeting! When things were tense, she got us through it. You came away from those meetings feeling like something had just been accomplished, and knowing what you were supposed to do next.
