  • Navigating Obstacles in the Landscape

    Event Attendance & Interactions It’s Labor Day Weekend and there’s been a LOT going on lately, as you might imagine. In the last week, I was proud and honored to attend my father’s Old Glory Honor Flight. I also attended a  fund-raising event a few days prior.
