The group was small usually 6 to 9. One of us was selected to moderate. That's necessary to prevent someone from running the discussion and it is always good to have someone gently move it on when a dead horse is being beaten. Because of the size of the group and all men they really opened up in ways that a lot of men won't. We were pretty diverse; 2 carpenters, one welder, one undertaker, one cotton farmer, one butcher and a couple of electronic technicians.
