LaMonn Satchell Graduation LaMonn Satchell recently graduated from the Goodwill Vocational Adjustment/Work Ready program. He is now working with a Goodwill Career Development Specialist to secure a job that is just right for him. LaMonn had some very touching words to say at his graduation: “Well, to be honest, this really isn’t all my doing. I owe it all to my dad. He showed me the value of hard work. He worked really hard and I thank him for it. I didn’t really appreciate what he did for me and my brother, but now that I’m working here and earning an income, I now appreciate what he did.” LaMonn is pictured with Goodwill's Employment and Training Program Manager, George Clark. #goodwillchatt
