MOTIVATION
“Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as
if they were going to be dead by midnight.
Extend to them all the care, kindness and
understanding you can muster, and do it with
no thought of any reward. Your life will never
be the same again.”
— Og Mandino
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Young has been scuba diving since
1994 and a PADI scuba instructor
since 1996. She even recently dived
with marine iguanas in the
Galapagos Islands off the coast of
Ecuador.
“Lester” is Young’s nickname! She worked on a
ranch when she was young riding horses and taking
care of the ranch kids. The littlest one couldn’t say
“Leslie,” so she became Lester. Now those kids
have grandkids, but
she’s still known as
“Lester.”
