Quote of the Month
===========================================================
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty

dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

-Thomas Edward Lawrence (of Arabia)

employees in 42 states. But she worked at a long- term care facility
more than 75 miles away from her employer’s nearest site, with no other
employees from the same company. What’s significant about 75 miles?
