New To This Iowa Sight!

WOW Janet. I have heard so many good things about Dr. Shinnerl that he needs to be placed high on a throne. LOL Anyway at least to be recognized for who he is. With all the good things I keep hearing about him I get more, and more excited about meeting him. Thanks for the welcome, and for the info as well. I will be sure to keep everyone posted on what is going on. 1 more day, and I get to see him, I can't wait! Take care, and God Bless! We will talk soon! Pam
