Hi Ricky!

Thanks so much for the report of your visit with our dear Dr. Rice! I can visualize the meeting, and once again felt like I was right there!

****Ricky, I imagine I would feel humble meeting YOU as well! My resume includes textbook rep for a large college textbook publisher. I used to talk to learned folks day after day, many published folks with best sellers under their belt. The ones who were the most enjoyable were the ones who checked their egos at the door and expressed themselves first and foremost as fellow travelers in this magnificent ride called life!

***Are gals allowed, too!? Oh, man! You had to remind me this is the setting where I met my husband?!?! He appreciated I drank beer straight from the bottle and could bluff so well....lol!

> Thanks once again Dr. Rice!… We shall meet

***Personally, I would love to have a SowPub conference. Wouldn't that be a blast?!?!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE
