If you are a homophobe, go no further. I am a proud mom who would like to share this with those of you who are open minded. My son spent five years helping develop this organization GLSEN before he accepted his current position with an international banking firm in their philanthropy division. If interested, watch Josh on:

yes, his new position with Lehman Brothers is as Vice President of Corporate Philanthropy. He remains in Manhattan though he travels some for the job; frankly I think he travels less for Lehman than he did for GLSEN but travels further (worldwide).
I am very proud of my son and the things he does in this world. For an Ivy League Graduate living in Manhattan, he still as a little of his old MOM in him!

You must be so proud, Pam. What a wonderful young man, and what a great program. Here is a man who has taken the initiative to ensure that young people have a safe place to learn. And congratulations to Lehman Bros for recognizing his talents, and for putting them to a broader purpose.
Thanks for sharing this, and I do hope that his travels include Hawaii, someday. The islands need more intelligent young men intent on doing great deeds.

I'd say we could have a party at my house [8D], but I won't be there until the first week of July [B)]

Pam,
It is wonderful that Josh is involved in making this world a little better for all of us. You must be doing something right as a mother. I would love to have a punaweb party sometimes in June at my house. If this is agreeable to you, let me know which is a good day.

I've heard of GLSEN and their important work -- how cool is it to know the mother of one of the creators of that great organization.
But of course, we knew that such an awesome lady would have awesome kids. He's a true leader and you have every right to be filled with pride.
