Welcome! Thank you for joining me on this wonderful journey. Rotary International has set up a program of Group Study Exchange where young professionals are selected to represent their area and profession in an exchange with other like-minded professionals from another country. Participants cannot be members of the Rotary Club and must pass a selection process, including an interview. It is an honor to be selected and I am grateful for the opportunity to represent North Louisiana and the legal profession on this Group Study Exchange in Sweden from March 11 through April 12, 2010. This blog will provide readers with information about my personal experiences preparing for and conducting the exchange. Please drop by and leave comments -- nice ones, please -- telling me about what is going on at home and sharing with me any experiences you have had in Europe, particularly Sweden.
