Trainees

What a great piece [Reuters trainees past and present]. Like Richard Satran, the amazement at being allowed into the party was - and still is, to some degree - stunning. My official Reuters correspondent card, resplendent with the company crest, is a treasured memento, recently saved from the ravages of superstorm Sandy. And what a privilege to work alongside and learn from so many talented and dedicated people. Wonderful to hear, too, that the training program goes forward with renewed strength, emphasizing OJT. As we all know, there is nothing like learning by living. ■
