Deb and I’s paths crossed in high school and then later when she and I were in the throws her medical consulting and my computer graphics training in the 1990s. Even then she was a mentor to me to stand up and believe in myself and what I could do. We parted directions in the early 2000s and have reconnected about a year and a half ago. I thank Deb for her strength of knowing who she is and what she needs to do to achieve her goals all the while being honest and genuine.
