An Overdue Reunion

Yesterday I had a rare opportunity to speak at a really fantastic practice in Winter Haven, FL- Veterinary Healthcare Associates. Many of you know I get to speak all over the country at some very nice clinics. What made yesterday so special was the clinic was owned by best friend since 7th grade, Dr. Loren Nations. We were close throughout high school, and Loren reminded me that of the 21 classes we took we had 19 together. He has a wonderful practice and a really great staff. His hospital manager is a friend also, Julie Poncier Stewart. Julie used to work at Town & Country many years back. That evening, I spoke to the RIdge VMA group in Lakeland. I got a chance to catch up with the doctors I worked for when I was in undergraduate, Drs. Fleet Ryland and Tom Schotman. It was nice to return to see the home town again and reminisce. Loren is still better looking, but I have more hair (but not by a lot).
