Martha - happy and well-deserved congratulations! Years ago I was a new member of FPRA in Fort Walton Beach (1980's), working at Humana Hospital. I met you several times when our chapters held joint meetings, etc. I think I might have attended a workshop you created at one time. I go back to the Mickey Nall and Scott Herrington era. And I stay in touch with Carol Trivett Britton. I'm sure the University is in good hands with you at the helm!
