Hey Deb,
Stan had a post on FB that led me to your web site. I never really knew exactly what you did career wise until I arrived here. To say I was blown away is a gross understatement! You are living my dream. To have a successful career is great, but to know that what something you created has, is, and will help people all over this planet…. That has got to be light years beyond ” I love my job”. This may be exactly what I have been looking for.
Miss you guys,
c smith
