Charmaine, I was honored to be present when you defended your dissertation at Pacifica, and to join with your other friends and your daughter to celebrate afterward. You were passionate about learning and you pushed yourself beyond your limits, I do believe, to achieve your goals. I'm so glad you were able to join us, your Pacifica classmates, at my ranch in 2009 and feel the breeze blowing on you again. Love to your family, and to you--wherever you are now. Elli
