  1. I’m in shock to read this! I’m more than sorry! I went to San Francisco with her in 1996 and had the best time at a conference! We also went sightseeing while we were there! It’s the Best trip I’ve had at that point in time! She taught me how to have fun no matter what I was doing. She is one of my favorite people.
