My wife’s late mother was the Chief of the Grammar Police. She was quick to remind you that you couldn’t end a sentence with a preposition (the answer to “Where’s that at?” was always “between the A and the T”) and that you weren’t going to “lay” down you were going to lie down (“Chickens […]

Happy Retirement, Jerrie!
You could probably count on one hand the number of mediations in the last 6 years that Jerrie hasn’t had a hand in scheduling. On the contrary, you’d need all the hands (and maybe the feet!) of our team to count all the ways Jerrie has made us laugh or smile in those same six […]
