This is a short, really interesting blog post by the biggest wig here at GRS, founder Tommy Clark. 10 paragraphs gives the story of the founding of GRS, taking you from his childhood as a white kid in pre-AIDS Zimbabwe through his time playing at Dartmouth College, his later return to Zimbabwe to play professionally and teach English, and finally his decision to attend medical school and found GRS. Well, I just gave away the general trajectory of the story, but it's much better to hear it straight from the ostrich's mouth.
The post is here (to reiterate: it's really short and worth the read if you have any interest in GRS):
