Six Great Men - Digging Deeper Into the Founders

President Richard Ham thanks Ara Norwood for his presentation on our Founding Fathers.  Ara Norwood (www.aranorwood.com), head of Leadership Development Systems, who presented Part II of “Six Great Men” (Part I was at Mira Costa for the Craft Awards a couple of years ago).The Six are Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton. Ara spoke about their relationships with their parents, their intellectual acumen (five were geniuses and Washington was more a people person), and their views on slavery (all opposed it eventually, with Northener Adams from the beginning calling it a “foul contagion” and with Washington evolving to the point of finally releasing all his slaves—which Jefferson did not do).
