I am sure she's enjoyed her AMBA experience.<BR/><BR/>You're right, I was fortunate to know Bill and his friendship has always given me the encouragement to reach out to people I haven't met but who have somehow touched my life. The rewards are tremendous.Anne McAllisterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04408045786951555625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22347819.post-4781540120476529422008-09-18T10:31:00.000-06:002008-09-18T10:31:00.000-06:00carolc said...What a lovely and moving post Anne. ...carolc said...<BR/><BR/>What a lovely and moving post Anne.
