great job!
Hey there Nate. You write well. You travel well. Wishing you a lifetime of both. Madison is always here, but just so you know that even now I'm sitting here thinking (and sometimes crying) "what the heck am I doing!" Time for me to travel again! your old (and getting older) MTTP classmate, Kathryn
