"Before I met Patricia Fripp and Dawne Bernhardt, it was a
challenge to run a small meeting and enjoy it. When I had
the challenge of addressing 2,000 people in the Masonic Auditorium,
I was petrified. I realized the future of my career would
be affected. Patricia and Dawne's help was invaluable; I could
not have done it without them."

it possible, and it would not have been without Fripp and
Dawne's help."
