Great news about Mary Ann's trip to Seattle! She got a job (which is waiting for her right now), and an apartment (yes, she found one, cheap and perfect) and then she went back to the southwest to prepare for the big move. She's emptying her small cottage of ten years, and packing up her U-Haul as we speak. She plans to drive up there in less than two weeks if she can.

What a success story! She worked hard, set things up, and went to a gang of interviews (got more than one offer!) and came back stunned with her own success, and amazed and almost in tears at the backing you all gave her. She has asked me to thank everyone who helped. The money you donated made it all happen.
