In Memory of Charlie "Tremendous" Jones
It is with great sadness that I note the passing of one of the true legends and pioneers of the professional speaking world in America. Charlie "Tremendous" Jones passed away on October 16th.
He was always fun to listen to, and presented powerful messages. He was a strong advocate of reading. One of my favorite quotes of his was, "You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read."
Instead of giving business cards to people, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones used to give books to people with his name and contact information inside. We lost a great speaker and a great person. In Charlie's honor, why don't you start reading new book today.

Alain,
You sent a link to your blog to members of Northwest Speakers (or whatever we are these days).
I'm going to share it with readers of my blog (giving you credit, of course!).
A favorite T-shirt of mine, that gets many comments, reads, "When in doubt, READ."
Thanks.
