<\/span>Yet this was not the case, we worked through what communication problems we had, and made sure everyone\u2019s ideas were heard.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>We could not have worked together better and the week flew by.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-4CSwDIcc0GI\/VXj5qSGNt6I\/AAAAAAAAACE\/5dVq7ysTNdA\/s1600\/20141111_tourroads.jpg\" style=\"clear: right;float: right;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"285\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-4CSwDIcc0GI\/VXj5qSGNt6I\/AAAAAAAAACE\/5dVq7ysTNdA\/s320\/20141111_tourroads.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At Colonial NHP I had the privilege of meeting the Acting Superintendent <span>Jennifer Flynn<\/span>, Acting Deputy Superintendent <span>Steve Williams<\/span>, Chief Ranger <span>Ken Doak<\/span> and many other employees my first day at the park at a staff meeting. <span>&nbsp;<\/span>I spent the first week doing ride-alongs with my supervisor Ranger Mark Krebs, getting to learn about both Yorktown and Jamestown.<span><span>&nbsp;
