Dear Hildy, It was so wonderful meeting you (and your partner) at the JBS outing. It already seems like a wonderful dream I had a long time ago. I can't wait until next year. Do you, perchance have a job description for the position you now hold? I'm trying to design a new position for myself and at the same time am designing a new position for a Education Coordinator. Do you think you might be interested in such a position? Stay in contact...I can't wait to show the teo of you the Gardens!
