What a great article it was .It was so good to hear from Mrs. Cook. I want to say thanks to the responsible one that was able to get her to do the interview. There are thousands of people who had no idea who she is ,that have worked here for awhile. Also, thanks for the info on the history on the History behind the center. The meaning of the word FAMILY was truly shown through her words. Thank you Mrs. Cook
