She decided to train to be a SMART Recovery and Family and Friends facilitator. She started a Family and Friends meeting but soon learned that there were no SMART Recovery meetings in the Valley and soon after the Beacon Foundation was born. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Laurence (Laurie) Willis<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laurie is a retired Canadian businessman residing with his wife Jan in Leduc County, Alberta, in the summer and Rancho Mirage, California, in the winter.
