As I write this, my education corporation, Projects, Inc., approaches the half-way mark in its contract with Maine’s Passamaquoddy Indian tribe to assist them with economic development in the maple syrup industry. What an honor it has been to both lead and follow, leading in industry marketing and technology, and following in cultural immersion. It’s akin to being a part of a 3150 member family, all first cousins. Our brand should be available soon. I’ll let you know.
