She is someone I call a friend who I may have never met if it were not for the AR community.  We share a special bond indeed.  

I like the photo of Lottie with her granddaughter, Rachael. Two beauties on a rooftop in San Francisco.

Hi Grant, 

What a great pic of Lottie and her granddaughter with a fabulous background.  I think a lot of people are rethinking the high taxes and COVID in urban areas in some of the states.  I can tell you I have never been this busy. I am glad you were able to chat.
