When you first enter Pecos after a long drive from the airport and many dirt roads through the beautiful Pecos River regionI participated at the invitation of Larry Wilson, in several sessions at Pecos River Learning Centers. Larry was one of my mentors since going through Counselor Selling at Wilson Learning Institute at the beginning of the 80's. I had reached out to invite Larry to let me interview him for a business radio show I produced in Portland Oregon and he said yes. At the end of the interview I asked him if he might envision a way we could work together. He then invited me down to participate with him in his sessions. It was a life changing experience. I still think of Larry. These pictures are my memories of my time at the learning center. There are 62 pictures in this gallery.
