Exclamation We are.... IN!!!

Ok, so maybe we are going against the grain here with all of the recent outs... but after getting KO'd over 6 months ago we are IN !!!! We went back into PGN today.

Thank you all for your wonderful prayers and support. They are soooo appreciated. Please continue to pray that our case moves through PGN smoothly.

Thanks!!
Tom
