It is always good to hear that kind of story.  I think we are all waiting to type our own type of "we were found" story.  Thanks for sharing!

Chris that is great news!  Keep the Rain coming!  I did not realize the power of Active Rain until this past several months and now I am absolutely dedicated to it!  Good luck with your relationship building here on the network.
