Some personal reflections on Ira Hutchinson

I got to know Ira during a TR conference, Metromorphis, held at the Palmer House in Chicago. I believe that was in 1969. I was a young rec therapist working at Evansville State Hospital in Indiana.

I recall that I was able to talk with him during a social function at the conference, and while he was a "name" in the field at the time, he took the time to talk to me. That is something I've always remembered and I've attempted to use Ira as a role model over the years as that interaction was important to me as a developing RT.
