To Jennifer Wilson from Lisa Schultz Pritchett; I recently learned of your Mom's passing even though it's been several years and send my sympathies. I apologize for communicating on this forum. I've been trying to get in touch with you for a long time since I lost track of you. I understand you are still in Washington state. I live in Wisconsin with my husband, Craig. I have a Facebook page if you could contact me; I'd love to hear how you are doing. Thanks, Lisa

Because of what you inspired help me to create for example some of the most successful Organic Agriculture...
