Our yahoo group shows strength, resiliency, friendship, intelligence and love toward one another. Trudy Gilbert Hackett; Barbara Hausen; Deb Koltis; Mary Kraft; Janet Lanci; Shelly Peed and Brenda Watkins are the best friends and most determined squirrels anyone will ever meet. Today is Thanksgiving, and though this is coming late in its reply....it's felt whole heartedly all year long. These women are leaders in their fields, and in my opinion, the way learning at Capella can and does happen successfully. Thanks Capella for writing about our little group of tough women with gentle, loving souls! Karen p.s.....I will proudly call at least FOUR of these women Dr. this year....if anyone needs inspiration...think of our group.
