Amanda,
I don't know what to say. You know how I feel about UFH and to see you finally honored in such a way brings tears to my eyes. When an event takes place anywhere in the Midwest it seems like you are there. You are calm under pressure and you know people you can count on and you get the job done. Anyplace would be lucky to get you, but I am glad you make First your home away from home. You may have doubted yourself a few years ago but we knew you had a great and wonderful future then and we are even more sure now. I can only hope the best for you in the future. Congratulations!!!!!
