Today's column -- Connie, you outdid yourself. When I receive your column, I read it first thing.

What a tribute to yourself and your entire family. Connie Schultz is an absolutely phenomenal writer, speaker, and person. I have only met Connie in person, on her book tour in Cincinnati, but I respect her tremendously. I have been a fan ever since and read her column devotedly. When I'm reading, I am always amazed that I have a reaction, often strong, usually in agreeement, with Connie's opinion. Today was outstanding! Thank you, Connie.
