  1. Dr. Jamison was in our area several years ago. She was great and so are you, Therese. You are articulate, interesting, informative and I just think you have the “it” factor going on.

    Keep up the good work; you are helping so many people. Thank you for teaching us so much.

  2. Many songwriters have an abundance of misery to write about before coming to a manageable relationship with thier own. Some as you have mentioned have a problem with finding good,”graces”
    that have as much meaning for them as far as lyrics and stories. The graces are many and can be written by those of us who have had some misery. The good takes on a whole new meaning when you have seen the bad.
