The photo of Mount McKinley in Alaska's Denali National Park (left) was recently taken by B & L Financial Architects Managing Director Kevin E. Baldwin, during a "meeting on the mountain" with top leaders in U.S. banking, insurance and finance hosted by The American College.  Kevin was so inspired by what he saw and experienced, that he returned to Connecticut determined to help people across New England to deliberately climb the financial mountain to their financial freedom.     

To paraphrase a poem by Sam Walter Foss called "The Coming American,"
 
Bring me people to match my plains,
People with empires in their purpose,
And new eras in their brains.
Bring me people to match my prairies,
People to match my inland seas,
People whose thought shall pave a highway
Up to ampler destinies;
Pioneers to clear Thought's marshlands,
And to cleanse old Error's fen;
Bring me people to match my mountains,
Bring me women and men!
