Dear Lorna and All at SMHA,
Warm greetings from Pennsylvania! BIG congratulations to y ’all! 50 years! Lorna, are you and Helen retiring? Is that even possible? It is great that you have found such a tried and true successor to carry the mission of SMHA forward. I work with so many organizations that have not yet quite figured that part out yet, and I worry for their future. I guess you will have more time to visit Mr. Lester’s!
