You're talking about rebuilding? I want somebody to tell me where my mother is now.

How would you feel if you didn't know where your mother was for one day? Imagine 4 1/2 months.

It is significant. We're going from talking to doing.

I will miss her an awful lot. She is a friend and I have enjoyed working, talking and joking with her. Her knowledge will also be missed. She knows so much institutional knowledge. She knows all the projects that have come in. She understands how it came to be the way it is and how it happened. She even knows personal anecdotes on the projects and people involved. She really has touched every person in town through her work.

There was a lot of good leadership on the court. It made a huge difference. Those seniors never stopped talking.

I am sure my mother is happy. I understand now the point of my own survival.
