One of my great....grandfathers was the official "grumble handler" on his pioneer trek across the US. His job was to find out what the problem was, who was at fault, and issue a penalty (measured by pounds of flour) to whoever was wrong. Amazingly, only once in the entire journey did someone have to pay flour. The rest of the time, all of the parties were able to mediate amicably and all left the situation feeling like they had "won". Only a week or so into the trek, no more situations ever arose to his attention. It seems much like the wisdom and gift that Aaron had.<br /><br />If only had gene had been passed on :)Jennifer O.noreply@blogger.com
