...fact that everyone receives equal pay, participates in making collective decisions and takes on equal responsibilities not only helps motivate staff members but also helps bring the staff closer together so that they can better support each other in their often emotionally-exhausting jobs as counselors...

The robust and prodigious eater is the survivor of a 1977 heart attack as well as a thyroid cancer operation. The inveterate partygoer and dazzling conversationalist never drinks...
