Passion Buddy

It started as a long distance relationship in the mid-80s when Michael O’Donnell asks me to be one of the founding members of the American Journal of Health Promotion.  In 1988, we finally met at a conference where I was doing my usual fly-in-speak-fly-out.  We talked as I packed, but in those few minutes we both silently realized we’d probably be “passion buddies” for life.  In 1994, Michael asks me to write the Program Management chapter for the 2^nd Edition of his very popular Health Promotion in the Workplace text, followed by the 3^rd Edition in 2002, and the newly published 4^th Edition in 2014.  I look at the new text with pride, but what I really see is 30 years of a friendship inspired by passion.  Find a passion buddy today and be inspired for life!
