So 1-2' snow on the ground today but 50 degress & gorgeous sunny skies - go figure. Work is great - busy & I won't complain. Am heading to Vancouver, BC next week to attend the NW SWANA Regional Conference - should be great. Thanks for checking in - hope to see you soon, Laurie

We provide better service, better pricing, accountability and fairness. We are the only public sector in Pa agressively competeing against the large privates. Long story of why but if you want the full story call me. Go Penn State Dave

Yes, Vols fan based in KS, although I'm a huge University of Kansas fan also. KU fans don't get as into tailgating as Vols fans do, but it's still a ton of fun.
