Zinni appearance a special night

Editor, Index-Tribune:

Kudos to Kathy Witkowicki and the Mentoring Alliance for a terrific speaker forum and bringing General Tony Zinni to Sonoma. I hope there are many more speakers to come.

Depending on the issue, I both agreed and disagreed with some of General Zinni’s comments. More importantly, however, it was a very thought-provoking evening and I am still having conversations about it. Civil discourse is a wonderful thing and we need more of it.

Thanks to General Zinni for coming to Sonoma to share his thoughts, not only on the current international scene, but also about the importance of mentoring in his life and the lives of others.

Sept. 19 was a special night for Sonoma.
