Reflection
Our fifth year at Inside Passage marked the passing of my friend and teacher Jim Krenov. While his voice maybe silent, we will continue to operate the school true to his teachings.
I would like to tke this opportunity to thank all our students, this school not only exists for you but because of you. I would also like to thank our Guest Faculty, Jacques Breau, Ian Godfrey, Jason Klager and Gary Kent.
In closing I would like to thank my soul mate, my partner in life and work for keeping the school, our family on me on course.
Be well and enjoy your work,
Robert
