I’m tightening my belt with my budget as funds are getting squeezed but I have no complaints and am more than willing to help a most worthy cause. I admire Lawrence O and his dedication and 15 years at it is the best referral I can think of.

And her first job was teaching in a one-room schoolhouse where some of her students were older than she was. And she always remembered those kids. She told me once that when she was in school the jobs open to young women back then were either as a teacher or a nurse, so she chose the one she preferred. But she also told me that if she was growing up today she'd want to become an environmentalist.
