Comment from our Closing Speaker-

Dear Susan:

Just wanted to send you a great big THANK YOU for such a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the opportunity to work with you and the Rural Health Association.

I made it back home about 1:30 pm CST. I was so thankful that I didn't get run over in that nutty traffic or that I didn't run over someone. Traffic was as thick as molasses in Knoxville. Naturally I was in the lunch hour traffic. Whew!

I had two persons that followed me out to thank me. One of them was a woman and she said that my talk was inspiring and motivational and touched the heart. This man followed me and showed me his evaluation form. He wanted me to know that he could only give me a 4 since that was the highest mark but that he gave me a 10 plus 1 for an 11. Remarks like those just does a body good. It is like music to my ears.

I just wanted to share this with you.

Hope that you had a safe trip back home. Try to get some rest. I am back in the office and seeing patients, as always one at a time.

Respectfully yours,

Joyce E. Scott, D.O.
