            Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Francisco and the Peninsula liked Jay's booklet so much that they asked him to do a version of it for them, to help the Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentor their Littles.

            As a former Big Brother with this agency, Jay made his booklet available at no profit to himself. He will do the same for any other Big Brothers Big Sisters agency that wants it. All you need to do is ask.
