Omaha, NE Wednesday, January 24, 2024 Anna and I worked together for 7 years in the Admissions office at Midland. Her husband knew my father through the trucking industry. You and Paul are together again. You endured much. I'm guessing that you are now the boss of several college administrators who work for you. Bravo! Please know that your efforts and wisdom were always appreciated. Much love and respect-Gregg Kupfer
