The first part of this month, Tricia and I were fortunate enough to make a trip to Arizona. Tricia has a few cousins that live near Tucson so we thought we would go visit. We always enjoy our time when we head down there. It had been over a year...

Notes from Steve

I just literally put out the email regarding getting rid of the masks and went down the hall for coffee and everyone was celebrating and giving me thumbs up. The thing that made me the happiest was knowing people read their emails. What a long slog covid has been. Jeez....
