Add to ORKGA friend of mine and former supervisor said something to me the other day. I deeply respect him; he taught me the very basics of interpretation. But his words shocked me. I still don\u27t know exactly how to process them. He said something like, I saw you leading a tour on Friday with three visitors. It takes something to go out there when you know you\u27re only going to get so few people. I respect you for it; I couldn\u27t do it. [excerpt
