Innkeepers are a great group of people and when you get
meet one who clearly "
Gets It", it opens a
dialog that is as rewarding as it is enjoyable. Dick
Matthews, who along with his wife Pam, are the
Innkeepers for
The Hummingbird Inn just wrote an article for PAII's
monthly Innkeeping Newsletter that in a word, is
Fantastic!Without trying to paraphrase or
embellish upon an already wonderful view of Innkeeping,
I offer a tip of the hat to Dick for his insightful
views and honesty. If you haven't read the article yet,
you can find it on the
PAII site.
I called Dick today to introduce myself and
congratulate him on his journalistic prowess, only to
find he is a journalist who has found his way into the
wonderful world of hospitality. The B&B Team's upcoming
Aspiring
Innkeeper's Seminar begins next week and I can't
think of a better piece to share with our group of
Aspirer's than this article.

You can tell by the image that I'm a gray-beard and I
find out that Dick is one too...and that we both have
spent some time "trodding the boards" as
theatre-folk! Hey Dick, we've got a whole new set of
stories to share!
Again, Dick, thanks for a great article about The
Noblest Occupation.
