REMEMBERING SHERRY JENKINS TUCKER
Sherry Jenkins Tucker was elected executive director of the Georgia Mental Health Consumer Network in 2004.
Of her many titles, honorifics, and awards, ITE was Sherry’s favorite. “I’m The Evidence” that recovery works was a message that she carried wherever she went, and today those of us who were honored to know her, work with her, or simply benefit from her many endeavors on behalf of the mental health recovery community, we are the evidence that one person can change the world, and make it a better place. Because she did.
Don Walin Author/Mental Health Advocate
Don Walin is a retired Canadian PGA professional. He was an active member of the CPGA from 1987-1995. He also graduated with a diploma in golf operations and management from the San Diego Golf Academy in 1986. Don's career as a CPGA golf professional was stopped short because of his bipolar disorder first diagnosed in 1989, just a few days before his 25th birthday. After a ten year battle with his illness his health improved significantly. After being well for several years , he was inspired to write and share his life experiences with others and give hope and inspiration to as many people as possible. You may purchase his book the Crazy Golf Pro on amazon.
