I just learned of the term "Hobby Buddy" in the newbie boards and this concept really intrigues me.  The idea to me seems like having a mentor to guide you through the ups and downs until you get the hang if it. Then maybe one day pay it forward.  

Have any of you had a Hobby Buddy?  
We're you the teacher or the student?
How does on find a trustworthy Hobby Buddy?

I have been mentored and I enjoy mentoring...or just providing pep talks and support. I will be touring in Tucson next week if you want to chat. xo

Thank you. That's very sweet. But to be honest I was thinking of a mentor from another hobbiest vs. provider.  Have you mentored a hobbiest before?  How would that work?
