Kathleen Dyer:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0 Kathleen, a dear cousin from Tacoma WA, is a great \u00a0supporter of my music and I wanted to write about her in this column as I’m so proud of her. \u00a0She’s had a bad year as far as her health goes, with several surgeries; yet this didn’t stop her from enrolling for an online college course this year. Brigham Young University \u00a0(Idaho) was offering courses at a great price and she took advantage of \u00a0it to take a Math course that she’ll need to complete her Psychology degree. \u00a0She’s already completed her other courses, including her electives.\u00a0Congrats<\/b>, dear Kathleen! \u00a0\u00a0katyecan28@msn.com<\/a><\/div>\n
