“Harry Truman is credited with saying, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” Dave McGillivray should be credited for living it. With a heart the size of Boston, I can’t think of anyone who does more things for more people, without expecting anything in return, than Dave McGillivray. His work ethic, his energy, his athletic feats, and his generosity are legendary; and he’s earned my vote for the greatest organizational and management genius of our lifetime.”

My name is Linda Fechter, co-author of THE LAST PICK (TLP). We have so many people emailing us and blogging about how TLP made a difference in their life. After much encouragement we decided to start this blog for you, the reader of TLP, as a place to share your story.
