Favorite Quote (I have so many) "I like the look of frogs, and their outlook, and especially the way they get
together in wet places on warm nights and sing about sex." --Archie Carr,The Windward Road What I like Most About VIN I did not realize the impact of VIN until I myself became a consultant. It's been such a fun experience to link to all those people, now I use it all the time! It is an incredible resource to bring vets together. It takes the distance away........
