[Vision2020] honoring Janet Lecompte

[Tom Hansen]

Bill -

Would you happen to have photos and (maybe) a short bio of Ms. Lecompte.

I would like to post them (if I can obtain her family's approval) at:

With a link from . . .

Would you be able to contact them . . . or provide me an email address.

Thanks,
