This spring STLF is gearing up to send 80+ tours on the road. That is a lot of students doing a lot of incredible things. It's exciting stuff, even more exciting that I get to share the joys and challenges of the upcoming tour season with my core/friends/ STLF family-it's all one in the same thanks to the Core Model.
