  • General Assembly has come a long way with innovation

    By Rick Rand

    By Lance Minnis

    Two weeks ago, I went riding on my new bicycle out of Eminence and into the countryside. My thoughts as rambling as my bike, I let my mind wander across the scenery, and whatever fancies occurred as I rode.
