Pathfinder’s Office Hours

Anyone who entered Second Life Education between 2005 and 2010 undeniably came across Pathfinder Linden. Pathfinder Linden was the customer market development in Education and Healthcare at LL.  His office hours were phenomenal and many a teacher took advantage of John’s knowledge. Within Second Life Education he always remained a great loss, so we are very pleased to announce that John will resume his office hours again, this time with us. Accessible to everyone in SL.
