any company would be lucky to get you. I was personally hoping you’d become president of one of our nearby colleges- to perhaps bring some reason and sanity to higher education in our area- but it’s certainly their, and all of our, loss! Very best to Kim and her family.
Best wishes Kim. See you around MB and beyond. -Steve

Kim Guadagno has a lot of class. Too bad NJ can’t gain from it anymore.
