Displaced Beachbums

A year ago, I was spending the day with my friends, Ann and Mindy, who came to Würzburg for a visit. As always, I had a fun time with them. Ann and I worked closely together when I lived in Grafenwöhr and, no matter how busy or stressful things got, she always kept her wicked sense of humor. I’ve been lucky throughout my career to have worked with, and for, some very smart, competent and strong women.

By moving every few years, I get to meet wonderful people but, on the flip side, it’s sad to say goodbye to such smart, fun and trustworthy friends. Thankfully, there’s e-mail, blogs and telephones we can use to keep in touch but I sure miss all my “girlfriends” a lot.
